  • As of early 2022, this ICD10 code is also used to identify drug-induced immunosuppression as an APACHE II comorbidity

Guideline for past vs current

Use this code if the intervention happened at any time prior to now, irrespective of ongoing plans for the future. That is, if pt is in between two chemo or radiation sessions while in hospital, still code this.

If actually done during this admission, also code the relevant CCI procedure (see #Related CCI Codes).


Past medical history codes

Past medical history codes should only be captured as Comorbid Diagnoses that represent previous procedures or medical situations. Their names usually follow the pattern "Past history of X" or "X, has one". See Category:Past medical history for a list.
