**** You raise a good point Trish regarding results not available on EPR so even with retrospective collection at STB this is an issue unless results become available during a patients stay and the team documents in the IPN. To account for presumptive COVID cases would an ICD 10 code for these scenarios be of value to the data collection program ie. Presumed Covid? If COVID can only be coded with a confirmed positive result, and there is no code for presumptive cases, then how are the presumptive cases to be coded using current coding schemata so collectors code consistently?

Additional Info
- This is intrisically a code for a viral pathogen. That pathogen is officially called "SARS-Cov2". It causes a disease called COVID-19, that has multiple manifestations, with more likely to be identified over time.
- The main manifestation known as of April 2020 is a viral pneumonia which can evolve into ARDS (noncardiogenic pulmonary edema). To code this viral pneumonia, use Pneumonia, viral with the bug being COVID-19 (SARS-Cov2).
- If as may be the case, there is a viral encephalopathy due to this bug, then you'd code it as Encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, encephalomyelitis, viral with the bug being the same.
- As we do with all infections, we do the best possible to identify the bug. Sometimes we're left without a clear, laboratory identification of the bug and then we use one or another of the "wastebasket codes"
- For example if the team believes this is likely a virus but doesn't know which one then use Virus, NOS
- For example if the team doesn't know what kind of bug it is, but believes it is infectious then use Infectious organism, unknown
- And if in fact even without clear cut lab confirmation, the team believes that this is COVID-19, then use COVID-19 (SARS-Cov2) as the organism -- of course anybody seeking to do definitive analysis of all COVID-19 cases will need to obtain and use the data on confirmed cases from Cadham.
- Regarding people who either die or are discharged from hospital with their COVID-19 lab test still pending, follow the usual rules i.e: Lab_and_culture_reports#How_long_to_wait_for_a_result or Attribution of infections
- Note that this test is done by Cadham Lab and not by the usual DSM lab.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Only use this for confirmed cases of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) - not other Coronavirus
Can this code be called COVID-19 to eliminate confusion? --Jvelasco 08:44, 2020 March 20 (CDT)
This code is the code for a pathogen, not an infection. To use it you have to code an infection (e.g. Lower_respiratory_tract_infection,_acute_infectious ) as a combined code with this virus pathogen code, you can’t code it alone. If we want to keep it like that I can change the name to something like “SARS-CoV-2 (causes COVID19)”, but would want to keep the virus name in there. If we want to code it in without combined code because it would only be used in that circumstance (eg Botulism) then we can change it to an Infection with implied pathogen. This would only allow coding it on its own, and would no longer qualify it as a pathogen. Possible drawback is that we would not know if someone e.g. had a sepsis related to it, or just breathing issues, since it would now not necessarily be coded as a disease code. Third alternative is to make it into a “Double duty” code like Rabies. For that one specifically we then have Infectious contact/exposure, rabies, without disease (yet). This would allow coding this as a single code to express COVID, but also as a pathogen code to show that it was e.g. the cause of a sepsis. |
