International Classification of Diseases
- International Classification of Diseases
-
a list of all known diseases and syndromes, including mental and behavioural disorders, published by the
World Health Organization every ten years (approximately). Over the years the classification has moved from being disease-orientated to include a wider frame-work of illness and other health problems. The latest version,
ICD-10, was published in 1992 and employs alphanumeric coding. It is used in many countries as the principal means of classifying both mortality and morbidity experience and allows comparison of morbidity and mortality rates nationally and internationally. A parallel list, the
International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (
ICIDH), has also been compiled and is being used experimentally.
See also handicap.
