Abstract:
HC is very common in international classification of diseases. ICD-9 and ICD- 10 differ in their hypothesis. HC refers to the way of coding according to the occurrence of the most frequent clinical cases. Since the most frequent clinical cases are determined in accordance with the clinical cases in Western countries, they may often be contradictory to the diagnoses by clinicians in China. Thus it is imperative to understand and grasp the definition, identification and evolution of HC in intemational classification of diseases so as to arrive at more exact coding.
