diagnostic codes is essential for the collection of medical
information.
The diagnosis coding facilitates data collection and retrieval
and compilation of statistical information. Also often requires codes to
facilitate communication of diagnostic data to third parties, including
government agencies, private insurers and the Organization Salud.Los subtypes (some
of which is encoded by the fifth character) and specifications are intended to
increase the specificity. Within a diagnostic subgroups defined subtypes
phenomenological mutually exclusive and are indicated in the criteria set by
the words "specify the type." For example, delusional disorder
includes different types according to the content of the delusions. Specifically,
there are seven types: Erotomanic, grandiose, jealous, persecutory, somatic, mixed
and unspecified. By contrast, the specifications are not intended to be
mutually exclusive and are indicated in the set of criteria for the words "specify
whether" (eg., In social phobia, the instructions say "Specify if: Generalized").
Specifications to define more homogeneous subgroups of individuals affected by
a disorder, and that share certain characteristics (eg., major depressive
disorder with melancholic). Although sometimes assigns fourth or fifth
character to encode a subtype or a specification (eg., F00.01 Dementia Alzheimer
type, with early onset, with hallucinations [290.12]) or severity (F32.0 Major
depressive disorder , Single Episode, mild [296.21]), most of the subtypes and
specifications listed in DSM-IV have not been coded according to the CIE-9-MC
and are indicated only by including the specification subtype or after the name
of the disorder (eg., social phobia, generalized). The ICD-10 system to encode
a large part of subtypes and specifications. Specifications of gravity and cursor.
Habitual manta, DSM-IV diagnosis applied to the subject's current
manifestations and does not usually used to denote the previous diagnoses that
individual has recovered. Once diagnosed, the following specifications are
applicable indicator of severity and course: mild, moderate, severe, in partial
remission, in full remission and history anterior. Las specifications mild, moderate
and severe only be used when the condition meets in At present all the criteria.
In deciding whether the presentation of the disorder has been described as mild,
moderate or severe, the clinician should consider the number and intensity of
the signs and symptoms of the disorder in question, and any irregularity in
social or occupational functioning. In most disorders must use the following
guidelines: Leveson few or no symptoms which exceed those required to make the
diagnosis. Symptoms but do not lead to a slight impairment in social or
symptoms or deterioration laboral. Moderato Existent works] located between "mild"
and "severe." GraveSe detect several symptoms that exceed those
required to make the diagnosis, or different symptoms are particularly severe
symptoms or result in a significant impairment in social or laboral.En
parcialCon remission before it met all the criteria for the disorder, but now
only remain some of the symptoms or remission signos.En there totalYa any
symptoms or signs of the disorder, but it is still relevant from a clinical
point of view consider the disorder, for example, an individual with previous
episodes of bipolar disorder has remained symptom free for the past three years,
under treatment with lithium . After a period of time in complete remission, the
clinician may consider that the subject is recovered and therefore encode no
disorder as a current diagnosis. The differentiation in remission requires
consideration of various factors, including the characteristic course of the
disorder, the lapse of time since the last period pathological, the total
duration of the disorder and the need for evaluation or treatment persistent profiláctico.Historia
anteriorEn certain it may be useful to reconstruct the history of the criteria
fulfilled by the disorder, even when the individual is currently recovered. These
previous diagnosis of a mental disorder should be indicated using the specification
above story (eg., Separation anxiety disorder, previous history, applicable to
an individual with a history of separation anxiety disorder, which currently
suffers no disorder now meets some or panic criteria). Several disorders have
specific criteria to define them as mild, moderate and severe mental
retardation, conduct disorder, manic episode and major depressive episode. Others
have specific criteria to define partial remission and complete remission: manic,
major depressive episode sustancias. Recidiva. En dependence clinical practice,
it is common for the subjects, after a period of time that no longer met all
the criteria of the disorder (eg., remissions or recoveries in whole or part), develop
certain symptoms suggesting recurrence of the original condition, but
nevertheless do not meet the requirements specified in the diagnostic criteria
table. The best way to indicate the presence of these symptoms is a matter of
clinical judgment. You have the following options: • If symptoms are thought to
constitute a new episode of a recurrent disorder, the disorder can be diagnosed
as current (or provisional) even before they have met all the criteria (eg., After
meeting the criteria a major depressive episode during only 10 days instead of 14
days usually required). • Assuming that the symptoms are clinically significant
but it is unclear which represent a recurrence of the original condition, you
can use the unspecified category. • If opinion that the symptoms are not
clinically significant, do not add any actual or provisional diagnosis, but may
be logged "back story." Main diagnosis / reason for hospitalization
consulta.Cuando in establishing a diagnosis over an individual, the principal
diagnosis corresponds to that disorder, after studying the case, is considered
primarily responsible for the income. In ambulatory care, when a subject is
applied to more than one diagnosis, the reason for the visit is the disorder
that warrants first ambulatory medical care received during the visit. In most
cases the principal diagnosis or the reason for the visit are also the main
subject of attention or tratamiento.Con is often difficult (and rather
arbitrary) to determine which is the principal diagnosis or the reason for the
consultation, especially in situations 'dual diagnosis' (a substance-related
diagnosis, as dependence on amphetamines, accompanied by another diagnosis
unrelated substances, such as schizophrenia). For example, it may not be clear
what diagnosis should be considered "major" in the case of a person
hospitalized for schizophrenia and amphetamine intoxication, since each of
these disorders could have also contributed to the need for income and multiple
diagnoses tratamiento.Los may be formulated as non-axial or multiaxial. When
the principal diagnosis corresponds to an Axis I disorder, this is indicated by
placing first. The other disorders are sorted according to the objective and
therapeutic care. When a person has both Axis I diagnoses and axis II, it is
assumed that the principal diagnosis or the reason for the visit will lie on
Axis I unless the Axis II diagnosis is followed by the words "(principal
diagnosis) "or" (during the consultation). "Diagnosis
provisional.Cuando a clear presumption that all criteria for a disorder
ultimately be fulfilled, but not enough information available to make a firm
diagnosis in this case can provisional specification used. The clinician may
indicate diagnostic uncertainty scoring "(provisional)" after
diagnosis. For example, the subject seems to suffer a major depressive disorder,
but it is possible to obtain an adequate history that establishes that all
criteria are met. The term is also used in temporary situations in which the
differential diagnosis depends solely on the duration of the disease. For
example, a diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder requires less than 6 months
and can be made only if assigned provisionally to have occurred before the
unspecified category remisión.Utilización: Given the diversity of clinical
presentations, it is impossible for the diagnostic nomenclature cover every
possible situation. For this reason, each diagnostic class has at least one
category and some unspecified classes include several categories including
unspecified. There are four situations that may be appropriate to formulate a
diagnosis not specified: • The presentation of the box coincides with the
general guidelines specific mental disorder in the corresponding diagnostic
class, but the symptoms do not meet the criteria for any of the specific
disorders. This happens when the symptoms are below the diagnostic threshold of
one's own specific disorders or when an atypical or mixed. • The presentation
of the box is a symptom pattern that has not been included in the DSM-IV
classification, but leads to clinically significant impairment or distress. Research
criteria for any of these symptom patterns are included in Appendix B ("Criteria
Sets and Axes Provided for Further Study forth"), in which case it is
stated on page Appendix B includes criteria suggested research. • The etiology
is uncertain (eg., if the condition is due to a medical condition, is induced
by a substance, or is primary). • No opportunity for a full data collection (eg.,
in situations emergency) or the information is inconsistent or contradictory, but
there is sufficient information for inclusion within a particular diagnostic
class (eg., the clinician determines that the subject has psychotic symptoms, but
not enough information to diagnose a specific psychotic disorder ).
Criteria often used: Criteria used to exclude other diagnoses
and diagnoses suggest diferencialesLa most sets of criteria presented in this
manual include exclusion criteria necessary to establish boundaries between
different disorders and to clarify differential diagnoses. The various terms
used to describe the exclusion criteria along the DSM-IV reflect the different
types of possible relationships between disorders: • "It has never
fulfilled criteria for ... "Used this exclusion criterion to define a hierarchy
between different disorders throughout life. For example, a diagnosis of major
depressive disorder and can not be made once had a manic episode, so it should
be replaced with a diagnosis of bipolar
disorder I. • "Does not
meet criteria for ... "Used this exclusion criterion to establish a
hierarchy between disorders (or subtypes) defined transversely. For example, specifying
"with melancholic 'overrides' with atypical symptoms" to describe the
current major depressive episode. • "Do not occur exclusively during the
course of ... "This exclusion criterion prevents a disorder is diagnosed
when symptomatic presentation occurs only during the course of another disorder.
For example, not separately diagnosed dementia if only appears during a
delirium; not separately conversion disorder if only appears for a somatization
disorder; not separately diagnosed bulimia nervosa if only appears during
episodes of anorexia nervosa . Typically, this exclusion is used in situations
where the symptoms of a disorder are associated characteristics or a subset of
the main symptoms of the disorder. The clinician should consider partial
remission periods as part of the "course of another disorder." It
should be noted that the diagnosis can be attributed excluded those occasions
occur independently (eg., When the disorder is in remission exclusive). • "It
is due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (eg ., a psychoactive
substance, a medication) or a general medical condition "that is used to
indicate exclusion criteria to be considered and ruled out general medical
etiology or substance induced before diagnosing the disorder (eg., one can only
be diagnosed MDD after discarding etiologies based substance abuse or a medical
condition). • "Not better accounted for by ... "Used this exclusion
criterion to indicate that the conditions mentioned in the criteria should be
considered in the differential diagnosis of psychopathology in question and
that in borderline cases will require clinical judgment to determine which disorder
leads to diagnosis suitable. In these cases, you should consult the section "Differential
Diagnosis" of entries for implicados.Existe disorders generally agreed
that the DSM-IV should allow multiple diagnoses attributing those who meet
clinical criteria for a DSM over -IV. There are three situations in which the
aforementioned exclusion criteria help establish a diagnostic hierarchy (and
thus avoid multiple diagnoses) or differential diagnostic considerations
underline (and thus rule out multiple diagnoses): • When a mental disorder due
to a general medical condition or a substance is responsible for the symptoms, diagnosis,
priority is given to the corresponding primary disorder with similar symptoms (eg.,
mood disorder induced by cocaine is priority MDD). In such cases, the set of
criteria for the primary disorder is an exclusion criterion includes the phrase
"not due to the direct physiological effects of ... '. • When a more
generalized disorder (e.g.. Schizophrenia) includes among its symptoms defining
(or associated symptoms) which are symptoms of a disorder defining less
widespread (eg., Dysthymic disorder), the set of less widespread disorder
criteria appears one of the three following exclusion criteria, indicating that
the disorder is diagnosed only more widespread, "has never fulfilled
criteria for ... "," Does not meet criteria for ... "," does
not occur exclusively during the course of ... ". • When there are limits
particularly difficult differential diagnosis, included the phrase" not
better accounted for by ... "To indicate that clinical judgment is
required to determine which is most appropriate diagnosis. For example, panic
disorder with agoraphobia include the criterion "not better accounted for
by the presence of social phobia", and social phobia include the criterion
"not better accounted for by the presence of panic disorder with
agoraphobia 'recognizing the fact that in this case there is a boundary between
the two conditions particularly difficult. In some cases both diagnoses are apropiados.Criterios
for sustancias.Con use disorders is often difficult to determine whether the
symptoms observed are induced by a substance, that is, whether it is the direct
physiological consequence of intoxication or withdrawal substances, the use of a
medication or toxin exposure. In an attempt to provide some help in making this
determination, each of the substance use disorders were added the two criteria
are reproduced below. It is understood that these criteria provide general
guidelines, but also allow clinical judgment involved in determining whether
symptoms are present or not better explained by the direct physiological
effects of the substance. For further discussion of this topic, see "substance-induced
mental disorders included in other sections of the manual" B. Based on the
history, physical examination, or laboratory findings, evidence of (1) or (2):
(1) symptoms appear within a substance intoxication or withdrawal, or for 1 month
after (2) medication use is etiologically related to the trastorno.C. The
disturbance is not better accounted for by the presence of a disorder that is
not substance induced. Evidence that the symptoms are better explained by a
disorder is not substance induced might include the following: the symptoms
precede the onset of substance use (or medication use), the symptoms persist
for a substantial period of time (p . example., about 1 month) after the
cessation of acute withdrawal or severe intoxication, or are excessive in
relation to what would be expected given the type, duration or volume of the
substance used, or there is other evidence suggesting the existence of an
independent non-induced disorder substances (eg., a history of recurrent non-substance).
Criteria for a mental disorder due to a disease médicaEl aforementioned
criterion is then necessary to establish the etiologic requirement each of the
mental disorders due to a general medical condition (eg., mood disorder due to
hypothyroidism). For a more extensive discussion of this topic, see "Mental
Disorders Due to a General Medical Condition" The history, physical
examination, or laboratory findings show that the disorder is the direct
physiological consequence of a disease clinically significant médica.Criterios:
The definition mental disorder consisting in the introduction of the DSM-IV
requires that clinically significant impairment or distress. To underscore the
importance of considering this fact, the criteria tables of most disorders
include a clinical significance criterion (usually said "... cause clinically
significant distress or impairment in social or occupational functioning, or
other important areas of activity of the subject "). This approach helps
to set the threshold for diagnosing a disorder in cases where symptomatic
presentation (particularly in its milder forms) is not inherently pathological
and can occur in individuals who would be inappropriate diagnosis of "mental
disorder". To assess whether this criterion is met, especially in terms of
activity, is inherently difficult clinical judgment. Often must rely on
information about the subject's activity and family gathered from third parties
(other than those from individual). Types of information that appear in the
text of DSM-Ivel DSM-IV text describes each disorder under the following headings:
"Diagnostic Features", "Subtypes and / or specifications", "typing
procedure", "Associated Features and Disorders", "culture-bound
symptoms, age and sex", "prevalence", "Course , ""

and disorders usually subdivided into three parts: • Descriptive
characteristics and mental disorders asociadosEsta section includes certain
clinical characteristics that are often associated with the disorder, but they
are not considered essential to make the diagnosis. In some cases these
features were proposed to be included as potential diagnostic criteria, but
were not sufficiently sensitive or specific to be part of the final set of
criteria. In this section also include other mental disorders associated with
the disorder that is being analyzed. It is specified (when known) if these
disorders precede, coincide or are consequences of the condition in question (eg.
An alcohol-induced persisting dementia is a result of chronic alcohol
dependence). When available, also included in this section information on
predisposing factors and complications. • laboratorioEsta Findings section
provides information about three types of laboratory findings that may be
associated with the disorder: 1) those associated laboratory findings that are
considered "diagnostic", for example, polysomnographic findings in
some sleep disorders, 2) those associated laboratory findings that are not
considered diagnostic of the disorder, but have been considered abnormal in
groups disorder affected individuals compared with control subjects, eg
ventricular volume computed tomography as a validator of the construct of
schizophrenia, and 3) those laboratory findings that are associated with the
complications of a disorder, such as electrolyte imbalances in individuals with
anorexia nervosa. • examination findings asociadasEsta physical and medical
conditions section includes information about symptoms collected in history, or
findings observed during physical examination, which may have diagnostic
significance but are not essential for diagnosis, such as dental erosion in
bulimia nervosa. Also included are those disorders that are encoded outside the
ICD chapter devoted to "mental and behavioral disorders", but which
are associated with the disorder under study. As in the mental disorders, specified,
if you know the type of association (eg., Precedes, coincides with, is a
consequence of), for example, cirrhosis is a consequence of alcohol dependence.
Symptoms depend on the culture, age and the clinical sexo.Esta section provides
guidelines on different variations in the presentation of the disorder that can
be attributed to the cultural, developmental stage (eg., infancy, childhood, adolescence,
maturity, old age) or sex of the subject. This section also includes
information on prevalence rates differentials related to sex, age and culture (eg.,
Sex ratio). Prevalencia.Esta section provides current data on prevalence and
throughout life, incidence and risk throughout life. This data is provided in
relation to different situations (eg., Community, primary care, outpatient
mental health clinics and psychiatric inpatient facilities) when you have such
información.Curso.Esta section describes the typical patterns of presentation
and course of the condition over time. Contains information on the age of onset
and the start mode (eg., Sudden or insidious) typical of the disorder; continuous
versus episodic course: recurrent versus single episode, duration, characterizing
the typical length of the disease and its episodes; and progression, which
describes the general trend of the disorder over time (eg., stable, worsening, improvement).
familiar.Esta Pattern section describes data on the frequency of the disorder
among first-degree biological relatives compared with frequency in the general
population. It also indicates other conditions that tend to occur more often in
family members of those suffering from the disorder diferencial.Esta cuestión.Diagnóstico
section discusses how to differentiate this disorder from others who have some
presentation characteristics of DSM organization similares.Plan -IV: Diagnostic
Classes principalesLos DSM-IV are grouped into 16 major diagnostic classes (eg.,
substance-related disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders) and an
additional section called "Other problems that can be clinical care.
"The first section is devoted to" Disorders in Infancy, Childhood, or
Adolescence ". This division of the classification according to the age of
onset of a disorder is raised only for convenience and is not absolute. Although
the disorders included in this section often become apparent for the first time
during childhood and adolescence, some individuals diagnosed with disorders
that appear in the above section (eg., Attention deficit disorder with
hyperactivity) can not be focus of clinical attention until adulthood. Furthermore,
it is not unusual childhood or adolescence are the age of onset of various
disorders included in other sections (eg., Major depressive disorder, schizophrenia,
generalized anxiety disorder). Therefore, clinicians working primarily with
children and adolescents should be familiar with the entire manual, and those
who work primarily with adults should be familiar with this apartado.Las three
sections - "Delirium, dementia and amnestic disorders and other
trastornoscognoscitivos ',' Disorders mental due to a general medical condition
"and" Substance-Related Disorders "- were grouped together in
the DSM-III-R unit under the heading of 'organic mental syndromes and disorders."
The term "organic mental disorder" is no longer used in the DSM-IV, since
it implies incorrectly that other mental disorders that appear in the manual
have no biological basis. As in the DSM-III-R, these sections are in the manual
before the other disorders because of its priority in the differential
diagnosis (eg., The causes of a depressed mood related substances should be
ruled out before to make a diagnosis of major depressive disorder). To
facilitate the differential diagnosis in these sections are complete lists of
mental disorders due to medical conditions and substance-related disorders, while
text and criteria for these disorders have been located in the diagnostic
sections for disorders with which phenomenology share. For example, the text
and criteria for the disorder of mood and substance-induced mood disorder due
to general medical condition are included in "mood disorders." The
organizing principle of all remaining sections (except adjustment disorder) disorders
is grouped according to their shared phenomenological features to facilitate
the differential diagnosis. The section "Adjustment Disorders" is
organized differently as these disorders have been grouped according to their
common etiology (eg., Maladaptive response to stress). Therefore, adjustment
disorders include a wide variety of heterogeneous clinical presentations (eg., Adjustment
disorder with depressed mood, adjustment disorder with anxiety, adjustment
disorder with disturbance of conduct). Finally, the DSM-IV includes a section "Other
issues that may be of clinical care." Included in this digital version of
the DSM-IV, in addition, the following appendices: Criteria Sets and Axes
Provided for studies posteriores.Este appendix contains a number of proposals
suggested for possible inclusion in the DSM-IV. Was provided a series of short
