coding relative to COPD Acute Exacerbation | |||
Note: When a patient has '''chronic asthma''' and comes in with an exacerbation of this (not status asthmaticus) you can use [[COPD, acute exacerbation]] because chronic asthma is considered one of the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases. This is according to ICD 9, see quote in COPD Acute Exacerbation. | |||
