Current International statistical classification
of diseases and related
health problems, 10th edition (ICD-
10), is a legislative document that
provides integration and comparability
of national healthcare data, epidemiological
situation and healthcare
facilities' activity. Unfortunately
the given classification suffers from
inaccuracies in clinical sections
structural appearance either in coding
of numerous diseases. There is
an intricacy in different polygenic
diseases and syndromes placement
in various sections. Besides, a lot of
nosological forms, syndromes and
symptoms widely spread nowadays is
absent in ICD-10.
At present time printed and electronic
versions of urological and
andrological diseases based on ICD-
10 codes are developed in Russian
Healthcare Depertment's Scientific
Research Institute of Urology. The
coding system is represented in a tree
view, where each subnode itemizes
the previous node. Proposed system
provides consideration of pathological
process' localization, stage and/or
phase.
In this article summary table containing
symptoms, syndromes and
nosological forms spread in real andrological
practice according to ICD-
10 was given.
Meanwhile some of them do not respond to modern understanding of pathological processes and demand terminological and classification updating and correction. The classification given demands complementation and modification, essential corrections due to interdisciplinary interaction, and thus it will be possible to create unitary integral classification of andrological diseases.
