Characteristics and progress of International Disease Classification on ICD-11 / 中华医院管理杂志

The authors described the purpose of the creation, the structure of the basic model, and the changes in the chapters of ICD-11, and analyzed its differences with ICD-10, as well as its unique advantages and current progress. The revision of ICD-11 is closely related to the development of modern medicine. It features more elaborate expression of diseases and informatization of classification tools, making it better fitting the development of medical and health information big data and facilitating the global collection and application of medical information data.

Nueva clasificación de las causas de mortalidad de origen nutricional por el método Delphi / New classification of causes of mortality of nutritional origin by means of the Delphi method

Las causas de mortalidad de origen nutricional (MON) no aparecen clasificadas en las sucesivas revisiones de la clasificación internacional de enfermedades (CIE) y no existe un acuerdo para la clasificación más adecuada. El objetivo de este estudio es elaborar, a partir de la última CIE, un listado de causas de MON que sirva como referencia para estudios posteriores. Se realizó un proceso de consenso de expertos en nutrición clínica mediante el método Delphi en dos oleadas para clasificar una lista de causas de MON en cuatro grupos; 1) grupo A: errores congénitos relacionados con la nutrición, 2) grupo B: causas asociadas a otras patologías, 3) grupo C: trastornos por exceso y por defecto, y 4) excluidas. Se sometieron al consenso de los expertos 86 causas, de las cuales se consensuaron 79 (91,9%) causas de MON. Se clasificaron 14(17,7%) causas en el grupo A, 5(6,3%) causas en el grupo B, 37(46,8%) causas en el grupo C y se excluyeron 23(29,1%) causas. Se trata de una primera aportación a la clasificación de las causas de mortalidad de origen nutricional, probablemente debido a la ambigüedad y la disparidad de opiniones entre expertos que presentan estas causas. Esta nueva clasificación será muy útil ya que ayudará a homogeneizar los estudios y así se podrán obtener resultados comparables, usándose como complemento clarificador de la CIE del momento.

The causes of mortality of nutritional origin (MNO) are not classified in the consecutive reviews of the international disease classification (IDC) and there is no agreement for their most proper classification. The objective of this study is to elaborate, using the last ICD as a guide, a list of causes of mortality of nutritional origin which will be used as a reference in future studies. A two round Delphi method was organized with an expert’s consenssus in clinical nutrition. The experts were asked to classify a list of causes of MNO in 4 groups; 1) group A: congenital errors related to nutrition, 2) group B: Causes associated with other pathologies, 3) group 3: Excess and defect nutrition disorders, and 4) excluded. In total, 86 causes of MNO were taken under the consensus of experts, and 79 (91,9%) came to an agreement. 14 (17,7%) causes were classified in group A, 5 (6,3%) causes in group B, 37(46,8%) causes in group C and 23 (29,1%) were excluded. This is a first approach to the classification of mortality causes of nutritional origin, probably due to the ambiguity and disparity of opinions between experts with respect to these causes. This new classification will be very useful due to the fact that it will enable homogenization of the studies and that way we will have comparable studies, using it as a clarifier annex for the ICD of the moment.
