Additional Info

• Lung abscess is a type of liquefactive necrosis of the lung tissue and formation of cavities (more than 2 cm) containing necrotic debris or fluid caused by microbial infection.
• The formation of multiple small (< 2 cm) abscesses is occasionally referred to as necrotizing pneumonia or lung gangrene. Both lung abscess and necrotizing pneumonia are manifestations of a similar pathologic process.
  • To code a necrotizing pneumonia, link this code with the code for the pneumonia:

Includes:

• gangrene of lung
• necrotic lung

data use discussion

dev_CFE Lisa updated the includes for this to add "necrotizing cavitary pneumonias". So, I added the "Pneumonia" category. I think this is something Julie occasionally reports on, so I want to make sure that coding this pneumonia in a more generic waste basket will not cause problems for her reporting. Emailed Julie and Lisa with link to this. Thanks. The investigator who had CAP request included this code too so I have added this code under pneumonia in my filtering. --JMojica 10:26, 2021 October 21 (CDT) Do you not use the s_ICD10_Categories table for this kind of filtering? I thought we implemented that so we can be consistent with these things over time. Ttenbergen 10:59, 2021 October 21 (CDT) I usually provide the link of the ICD10 and/or send part of the s_ICD10, indicate my preliminary choices and ask them for comment if need to add or delete. that is safer in my end not to miss anything. --JMojica 17:18, 2022 February 4 (CST) I totally agree with providing them the full list with the proposed subset and soliciting feedback. But if they send something back, I think we should make sure to integrate that back into our built-in categorization. If you get something like that in the future, let me know and I can show you how to add the category to an ICD10 page. You already know that these categories are stored in the s_ICD10_Categories table, right? If all clear now, Julie, feel free to take out this discussion. I think all of it is now integrated. Ttenbergen 15:12, 2022 February 8 (CST) I have never used the s_ICD10_Categories table, thanks for telling it. one question, is this table in CCMDB centralized or CFE? --JMojica 16:32, 2022 February 8 (CST) It's in CCMDB.accdb. I will add code to CFE to import it automatically like the other tables. Ttenbergen 10:56, 2022 February 9 (CST)
