ICD-10 sorts every diagnosis into 22 chapters, mostly by body system.

How an ICD-10 code is built

An ICD-10 code starts with a letter and two digits. Those three characters name a category, such as J06 for acute upper respiratory infections of multiple and unspecified sites. A fourth character after the dot narrows it to a subcategory: J06.9 is an acute upper respiratory infection, unspecified.

Categories are grouped into blocks of related conditions (J00–J06, acute upper respiratory infections) and blocks into chapters (Chapter X, diseases of the respiratory system). Code to the most specific level the record supports, and read the exclusion notes: they say which similar conditions belong somewhere else.

National editions

Countries report with their own edition. Sweden uses ICD-10-SE, Germany ICD-10-GM, the United States ICD-10-CM. They share the WHO structure and often add a fifth character or more for extra detail. Each code page here shows how the national editions list the same code.

Diagnoses and procedures

ICD-10 describes what the patient has. What was done is coded separately; in Sweden with KVÅ procedure codes, which are reported alongside the diagnosis.

Based on the World Health Organization’s International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision (ICD-10), 2019 version, and the national editions published by each country’s health authority. This page is a reference, not coding advice; follow your national coding rules when you report.
