Abstract:
Objective To accurately encode pelvic organ prolapse and ensure data accuracy.Methods ICD-10 coding analysis was performed in combination with the professional knowledge of the International Classification of Diseases(ICD-10)and specific clinical cases of pelvic organ prolapse.Results Vaginal anterior wall prolapse,regardless of severity,was encoded as N81.1;vaginal posterior wall prolapse,regardless of severity,as N81.6;uterine prolapse grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ,regardless of the presence or absence of vaginal anterior and posterior wall prolapse,as N81.2;uterine prolapse grade Ⅲ,whether the prolapse of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls is combined,or what level of the severity of the prolapse,as N81.3;cervical prolapse staging,regardless of severity or presence of vaginal anterior and posterior wall prolapse,as N81.2.In addition,the N81.-code does not include genital prolapse complicating pregnancy(O34.5),prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallopian tube(N83.4),vaginal fornix prolapse after hysterectomy(N99.3).Conclusion To ensure accurate coding,the composite coding rules must be cross-checked with volume one.ICD-10 failed to reflect the severity of vaginal prolapse in clinical practice.To consider the severity,coding should be extended in the N81.-segment.It is essential for coders to actively acquire clinical knowledge,rein-force professional knowledge,and enhance their responsibility to improve their coding proficiency and ensure data accuracy.
