This can be due to ischemia caused by blockage (thrombosis, arterial embolism), or a hemorrhage.Diagnostic imaging can identify the cause.
- We do not code paralysis or hemiplegia with the CVA.
- We do not code CVA and deconditioning 2nd to CVA together in the admit diagnosis.
- If the CVA is acute then put it in the admit diagnosis.
- If the patient came in to another unit with an acute CVA but then is transferred to your ward to recover use the code deconditioning secondary to CVA.
- 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)
