Hopefully the US's ICD-10-CM, Canada's ICD-10-CA and other member states which use a national adaptation (aka "clinical modification") of ICD-10 will absorb this change to ICD terminology in future releases of their national adaptations.

Guido, I suggest you review our lengthy Twitter discussions between 1 June 2019 to 4 June 2019, in particular these exchanges: (...) Followed by a number of posts by me setting out why exclusions were required under BDD and its Synonyms terms, including the fact that BDD is already being...

Chronic fatigue syndrome had been indexed to G93.3 since the Alphabetical Index for ICD-10 was released, with an exclusion for G93.3 under R53 Malaise and fatigue; and an exclusion for G93.3 under F48.0 Neurasthenia and its inclusion term, Fatigue syndrome. As ICD-11 had stood in 2010 to early...

You publicly opposed the insertion of exclusions for PVFS, (B)ME and CFS under BDD on Twitter. In December 2019, I submitted a new proposal for exclusions [1] for the three 8E49 terms under 6C20 Bodily distress disorder, supported by a new rationale text. In January 2020, the WHO approved and...

I've edited in links for two newly drafted documents to Post #453: 8 World Health Organization removes "Benign" from "Benign myalgic encephalomyelitis" for ICD-11, November 2020 9 IAPT requests code for Somatic symptom disorder for SNOMED CT, November 2020 So that's it. I'm retired now...

Thank you, TiredSam and other posters. It was nice to have this proposal approved before I step back at the weekend. So I now have no ICD-11 proposals waiting to be processed.

Before retiring from ME advocacy at the weekend, I am posting a number of documents in PDF format, which I compiled or co-authored in the last couple of years, as sort of "legacy" documents. Some of these documents have been revised this month to include updates on the outcome of ICD-11...

Yes it does. I was diagnosed with an acute posterior vitreous detachment 7 years ago. They are common after the age of 60 and more common in the short-sighted. The condition is usually non sight-threatening but occasionally can develop into a retinal detachment - so flashing arcs which can be...

Well, I was correct in my projection that SNOMED CT (and/or WHO) might add "Long COVID-19" under Synonyms to formal nomenclature. The term "Long-haul" (which SNOMED International has added under Synonyms, as "Long-haul COVID-19") seems more frequently used in the U.S. SNOMED International...

IAPT leads are still hoping to obtain creation of a new Concept code for Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) for addition to the UK Edition of SNOMED CT. The status of this request is that the request was not approved for the April release, as IAPT had hoped; instead it was referred on to SNOMED...

This would require her to be open to consulting with, and listening to patients, carers and advocates and a willingness to assimilate patient experience and knowledge - as opposed to presenting her beliefs and ideas in presentations and briefing papers that appear to have been prepared in...

She has, herself, upset and alienated a number of Twitter users who have been assigned an FND dx and also some FND patient group leaders.

Ditto the impact of the IOM Report outside the U.S. Ditto the change of order of "CFS/ME" to "ME/CFS" - which is not going to free up "CFS" to enable the term to be handed over to the psychs or for the "CFS" term to now be repurposed and used for "deconditioning due to psych issues" in Long...

It does not sound to me as though Diane O'Leary has taken on board any of the concerns that were raised in the thread discussing her BMJ Rapid Responses.
