This page is about the pre-ICD10 diagnosis coding schema. See the ICD10 Diagnosis List, or the following for similar diagnoses in ICD10:Cerebral infarction/stroke, NOS, Cerebral infarction/stroke due to embolism, Hemorrhage, intracerebral/intracranial, nontraumatic (ICH, hemorrhagic stroke), Stroke, NOS, Subdural or epidural hematoma/hemorrhage, nontraumatic, Hemorrhage, subarachnoid or ruptured cerebral aneurysm

This can be due to ischemia caused by blockage (thrombosis, arterial embolism), or a hemorrhage. Diagnostic imaging can identify the cause.

  • if admitted with a acute stroke, the DX stays as part of the admitting DX until patient is discharged from the hospital system in the Region. It will be coded as a comorbid on the next new admission to a hospital system in the Region. This is in following the same rule as for when does an ARF become CRF. --TOstryzniuk 19:48, 2 December 2010 (CST)

Incidental findings of OLD lacunar infarcts

  • Dan Roberts:Incidental findings of “old lacunar infarct” on CT will continue to be included as COMORBID diagnosis. IT seems staff have been including them as comorbids, if we stop including then this will affect the OverstayProject that is currently being piloted at the Grace and will eventually be done at other sites in the Region. -Trish Ostryzniuk 10:52, 2012 September 14 (CDT)
