LOINC long common name : ICD revision comorbidities Cancer;
LOINC short name : ICD revision comorbidities Cancer;
LOINC description : This item indicates the coding system in which the Comorbidities and Complications
(secondary diagnoses) codes are provided. The COC currently requires the collection
and reporting of up to 10 ICD-9-CM codes describing secondary diagnoses for patients
hospitalized for cancer treatment. Currently the use of ICD-10-CM is not mandatory
in U.S. hospitals, though may become so in the future. In the event this occurs cancer
registries that maintain or collect this information will need to differentiate between
ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM code use. The code values and definitions for this item would
be expanded as necessary. Allowable codes reported in the Comorbidity and Complications
items in FORDS would be re-assessed at the same time... NAACCR Data Standards and
