This template encodes an exception that likely needs to be mentioned in a bunch of places.


Regular comorbid rules exception: Strokes (of any sort, ischemic or hemorrhagic) include any residual deficits by linking with the stroke code -- code even resolved strokes with no current sequelae as comorbid diagnoses. If a patient has a past history of stroke, use the regular stroke codes to identify this, even if the patient does not have any residual deficits we will now capture ANY past history of stroke. This is contrary to the usual rules about Comorbid_Diagnosis#When_not_to_code_a_dx_at_all.
