{{Discuss| Seeking clarification regarding the above statement; if there is a clear cause and effect relationship between dysphagia and another condition such as CVA or Parkinson's why is dysphagia not combined with CVA or Parkinson's if present and significant? To extrapolate for patients who suffer paralysis with CVA is this also a "secondary feature" of the stroke and should not be coded as a combined dx with the CVA? Is this an inconsistency? Thanks! }} | |||
