ICD-10 Description From: http://www.who.int/whosis/icd10/descript.htm
The
Tenth Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and
Related Health Problems is the latest in a series that was formalized in 1893 as
the Bertillon Classification or International List of Causes of Death. A
complete review of the historical background to the classification is given in
Volume 2.
While the title has been amended to make clearer the content and
purpose and to reflect the progressive extension of the scope of the
classification beyond diseases and injuries, the familiar abbreviation "ICD" has
been retained.
In the updated classification, conditions have been grouped in
a way that was felt to be most suitable for general epidemiological purposes and
the evaluation of health care
