Every physician who has been through an internship is familiar with the Standard Nomenclature of Diseases and Operations. Far fewer know the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death or appreciate the relationship between the two. Official inauguration of the use of the Seventh Revision of the International Classification of Diseases on January 1, 1958 offers occasion for reviewing some of the considerations affecting the proper naming and classification of diseases and causes of death. It is necessary to clarify the distinction between a "nomenclature" and a "classification." A nomenclature is a list of all terms considered satisfactory in medical usage at the time the nomenclature was prepared. Its primary purpose is to promote use of the same name for the same disease, a necessity for comparability of reports and effective study of a disease. To achieve such uniformity there must be some background of usage and custom, as well as a systematic reference work to help the physician arrive at and use the standard term as a final diagnosis for his case. The Standard Nomenclature of Diseases and Operations of the American Medical Association is in practically universal use in the major institutions of the U. S. A. The Nomenclature itself, while detailed and inevitably complicated by extent of coverage and inclusiveness, follows such a logical pattern that under the pressure of institutional rules and routines it is not difficult to use the system efficiently. Individual physicians, however, are not so disposed to spend the time necessary to follow the Nomenclature and tend rather to use the terminology popular in the geographic area where they are working. Development of local terminologies and usages is perhaps the greatest limiting factor militating against a really general nomenclature.

An effective health policy can be only conducted on the basis of complete and up-to-date statistical data referring to, among others, causes of deaths. The share of deaths due to unknown and ill-defined causes constitutes one of quality indicators of data on mortality. As compared to other European countries, in Poland this share is relatively high, especially in some regions of the country. Presented analysis is devoted to spatial differences of mortality due to unknown and ill-defined causes in 1991–1995 and 2006–2010. Despite the introduction of the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, as well as despite the modernization of data collecting system in 1997, spatial differences remained at a constant and moderate level, which probably results from the prevalence of local coding practices. We propose possible solutions that could contribute to decrease in share of death due to unknown and ill-defined causes in Poland, among them standardization of local coding procedures concerning causes of death.

Classification is fundamental to science and a standard classification of diseases and injury is essential for the systematic statistical study of illness and death. This was recognised as early as the seventeenth century when such studies started and in 1853 Dr William Farr of London and Marc d'Espine of Geneva were entrusted with the task of preparing ‘a uniform nomenclature of causes of death applicable to all countries’. This led eventually to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death (ICD). In 1948, when the World Health Organization (WHO) was created, the newborn agency was asked to review and revise the classification regularly. The ICD is now undergoing its tenth revision.

Abstract Key contact person Dr Grace Joshy, Fellow, Research School of Population Health, Australian National University. Focus and outcomes for participants Mortality statistics are typically based on a single underlying cause of death (UCoD), derived from multiple conditions on the death certificate, and have provided critical evidence for policy and practice for over a century. There have been radical shifts in patterns of death in the past couple of decades; deaths in older ages are increasingly from chronic and degenerative diseases. The relevance of assuming that a single disease is causing the death is diminishing, especially with an aging population structure and increasing life expectancy. This symposium will enable participants to understand the complexities associated with mortality reporting/coding, strengths and limitations of available statistical methods for using multiple causes of death (MCoD) and the importance of quantifying mortality incorporating MCoD. Rationale for the symposium, including for its inclusion in the Congress The use of a single UCoD rather than MCoD means that vast amounts of potentially useful data are largely ignored, which is likely to bias mortality estimates (including under- and over-reporting of the importance of certain causes of death). Despite global recognition of the urgent need to better integrate data on MCoD into mortality statistics, use of these data are challenging and limited. Complexities arise from the way mortality information is reported on death certificates and coded to form mortality collections; limited understanding of available statistical methods also adds to the complexity. International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) has been translated into 43 languages and it is being used by over 100 countries to report mortality data, a primary indicator of health status. The 2018 release of the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, enriching data on multiple parameters including comorbidity, confers further urgency and a unique opportunity to optimise the use of MCoD in mortality reporting. The World Congress of Epidemiology 2020 will provide a unique platform for wider discussions on the challenges and opportunities for using MCoD data. The symposium will provide a deeper understanding and enhanced the use of MCoD data. The speakers are engaged in cutting-edge NHMRC-funded research on mortality incorporating MCoD and development of novel statistical methods. Presentation program The symposium will feature presentations from six speakers.

The Moment

Introduction: In everyday phoniatrician practice there are problems in finding adequate coding in current version of International Classification of Diseases. There is grey area for additional explanation under the official diagnosis and its code in Computer program window, but that has bad consequences on efficacy in writing the final medical report. Objective Suggestions for solving this problem that can contribute in next Revision are presented. Method The comparation between diagnoses in 7 years period of Phoniatric Department everyday practice and given diagnoses in current version of International Classification of Diseases. Results Certain percent of diagnoses that are overviewed during last 7 years in our Phoniatric Department has no adequate expression in given diagnoses in Tenth Revision. One can say that there is some kind of communication disorder. Conclusion This is the moment for Communication Disorders Care Center experts to participate in constitution of widespread acceptable nomenclature. The role of phoniatrician is necessary and logical in this system. The phoniatrician aspect of contribution in next Revision, is presented.
