Summary of ICD-10 Official Updates

This document represents the official updates to the ICD-10 classification, confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Heads of Centres (HoC) at meetings in Brazil in October 2000. It includes changes approved originally in principle at the HoC meeting in France in October 1998. The updates affect the tabular list, alphabetic index, and table of drugs and chemicals.

Key changes involve additions, deletions, and modifications to medical codes and terms based on sources like Australia, France, and NORDIC. For example:

• New entries include cystic fibrosis, lichen sclerosus, and Angelman syndrome in the tabular list.
• The alphabetic index features additions such as happy puppet syndrome and revisions to drug terms, like antipsychotic and opioid codes.
• Implementation dates vary from January 2000 onward, depending on the source.

These updates require corresponding changes in other language versions and related tools, and the document is not public, with strict copyright protection prohibiting unauthorized use without WHO permission.
