General coding standards
Dagger and asterisk dual classification
A generalized disease with an organ-specific manifestation is described by two codes: the aetiology (dagger) and the manifestation (asterisk).
Qué significa esto en la práctica
- The dagger code carries the underlying aetiology and is sequenced first. The asterisk code carries the manifestation in a particular organ or site.
- An asterisk code can never stand alone as a primary diagnosis - it is only valid when paired with its dagger code.
- Example handled by the explorer: selecting the retina surfaces the diabetic aetiology code alongside the retinopathy manifestation code, with the required sequencing shown on the card.
