The full name in the coding guide is "VIOLENT BEHAVIOR - 2nd TO MODERATE/ SEVERE DEMENTIA" but had to be shortened to fit on the PDA.  
Violent behavior secondary to [[Dementia]] it the only "specific" reason we are tracking violent behavior.  We will not change this until we go to ICU10. As discussed with Dr. Allan Garland. [[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 12:13, 2012 July 16 (CDT)

In ICD-10 coding, this single entity becomes a co-code of Violent behavior + the appropriate type of dementia.
==Discussion==
*Can collectors please provide examples of other reasons besides [[Dementia]] that is causing violent behavior on wards????TOstryzniuk 17:06, 29 July 2008 (CDT)
**899-3- [[Schizophrenia]](comorbid)
**539-00- acute [[Psychosis]]
**599-11- [[Toxic encephalitis]]drug withdrawal/intoxication (other neurological problems)
**540-00- [[Delerium/Confusion-NYD]]
**Head Injuries [[Jan Kothuber]]


* Most of the examples listed here are conditions that can ''cause'' violent behavior. This is well known, i.e. if there is a diagnosis of psychosis, then violent behavior should probably be expected. If something is part of a diagnosis, it should not have to be coded separately, should it? If someone has an appendectomy we would not want to code "sutures", right?  
== Do not use code for non-dementia violence ==
So, my question is, is there value in recording VB in this case? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 16:37, 20 April 2009 (CDT)
There are psychological problems we code however, we do not differentiate if violence is or is not associated with the any of the following conditions:
*899-3- [[Schizophrenia]] (comorbid)
*539-00- acute [[Psychosis]]
*599-11- [[2nd to Drug OD/ETOH Intox/Withdrawal (Toxic Encephalitis)]] drug withdrawal/intoxication (other neurological problems)
*540-00- [[Confusion/Delirium]]
*Head Injuries (code?)
** interesting, no code in [[:Category:Trauma]]; could find neurologic seizure head trauma 50904, a search of the s_alldiagnoses table didn't find anything except OR codes...
