Mapping of ICD-10-coded Diagnoses into HL7 v3
Structured representations of ICD10-encoded diagnoses must support primary and secondary codes, code extensions, side localizations and confidence. The primary code represents the main disease. The secondary code extends the primary code and is either used to describe manifestations in organs ("asterisk") or the cause (etiology, e.g. which bacteria) of the main disease ("exclamation") In order to represent this dependency, an additional oberservation instance will be connected via the ActRelationship to that Observation instance containing the primary code.
So we have the following basic structure for ICD10-encoded diagnoses:
Datei:Figure2.jpg Figure 2: Class Diagram of ICD-10 Diagnoses in HL7 v3
The attribute typeCode in the ActRelationship shall represent the code extension
The related Observation instance (connected via the ActRelationship) has MFST (Manifestation) as its typeCode in order to represent 'asterisk"-codes.
Exclamation-Code extensions are being represented as Observation instances connected via ActRelationships with typeCode CAUS (Cause).
The resulting XML structure of an ICD-10 encodeded diagnosis looks like this:
<observation moodCode="EVN" classCode="OBS"> … <value xsi:type="CD" code=" E14.30" codeSystem=" 1.2.276.0.76.5.311"/> <entryRelationship typeCode="MFST"> <observation moodCode="EVN" classCode="OBS"> … <value xsi:type="CD" code=" H28.0" codeSystem=" 1.2.276.0.76.5.311"/> </observation> </entryRelationship> </observation>
In this case the containing ActRelationship instance is of class entryRelationship- repesented by an element of that name.
Attribute @typeCode has MFST as a fixed value for representing an asterisk code.
value.@code ICD-Code ST [1..1] XML-Attribute @code shall store the specific ICD-10 Code.
value.@codeSystem OID of ICD-Codeset UID [1..1] XML-Attribute @codeSystem shall keep the OID of the ICD-10 Version being used. The appendix gives hints towards versions being used in practice.
value.@codeSystemName Name of ICD-10 Version ST [0..1] XML-Attribute @codeSystemName may store the Name of the used ICD-10 Version.
value.@displayName ICD-Code Text ST [0..1] XML-Attribute @displayName may store the verbose text of the ICD-Code.
OIDs and names of ICD-10 versions may be obtained from DIMDI (www.dimdi.de)
Representation of Side Localisation
value.qualifier Side Localisation CR [0..1]
The side localisation code shall be represented using the child element qualifier of the value element, as it refines the specification of that diagnosis code (as decided by HL7 DE TC meeting on 2005-09-01, minutes item 1.3.2).
An example representation looks like this:
<observation moodCode="EVN" classCode="OBS"><value xsi:type="CD" code="E14.30" codeSystem="1.2.276.0.76.5.311"> <qualifier> <name code="7" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.3.7.1.0"/> <value code="L" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.3.7.1.7"/> </qualifier> </value> <entryRelationship typeCode="CAUS"> <observation moodCode="EVN" classCode="OBS">
<value xsi:type="CD" code="H28.0" codeSystem="1.2.276.0.76.5.311"> <qualifier> <name code="7" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.3.7.1.0"/> <value code="B" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.3.7.1.7"/> </qualifier> </value> </observation> </entryRelationship> </observation>
Child element 'name' within element 'qualifier' defines the type of qualifier. Therefore, in order to express that a qualifier for side localisition the fixed value
„7“ from code system OID 2.16.840.1.113883.3.7.1.0 shall be used:
<qualifier> <name code="7" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.3.7.1.0"/> <value code="L" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.3.7.1.7"/> </qualifier>
Representation of Diagnosis Confidence
Specifying a Diagnosis using a Thesaurus Index
One more way of specifying a diagnosis is by using an index referring to an entry in a medical thesaurus.
Example: Mapping an Alpha-ID-coded Diagnosis
As an example, the diagnostic thesaurus „Alphabetische Verzeichnis zur ICD-10 GM“ (alphabetic directory of ICD-10 GM) is being used in Germany.
This directory allows to locate a verbose description of ICD-10 terms and to find the corresponding ICD-10 GM code.
The so-called Alpha-ID has been developed to process entries of that alphabetic directory.
It is an identification number for each textual entry in the "alphabetic directory".
In order to find this alpha-ID, a mapping file has been provided by DIMDI (www.dimdi.de).
The Alpha-ID is needed because in medical documentation, the descriptions of diagnoses need to be more differentiated than what ICD-10 codes actually can express.
Using the alpha-ID allows for a much finer granularity of diagnosis descriptions.[DIMDI,Alpha_Id].
As an example the ICD-10 Code “A01.0 Typhus caused by Salmonella typhi“ encodes multiple diagnoses such as „liver typhus“, „lung typhus“ and many more.
By using the Alpha-Id it is possible to specify the specific type of typhus, like e.g. „liver typhus“ as„I18721“ and „lung typhus“ as „I21312“.

Figure 3: Excerpt from mapping file „icd10gm2009_alphaid_edv_ascii20081006.txt“
Figure 4 shows an excerpt of the metafile which defines the fields of the mapping file for the Alpha-Id.
Each record consists of six fields, each being separated by a semicolon.
The fields in each record contain the following data:
Field 1: Validity (0-not valid, 1-valid) Field 2: Stable Identification with prefix I or T ("Alpha-Identifikationsnummer") Field 3: Primary key (with cross) Field 4: Asterisk key (with asterisk) Field 5: Additional key (with exclamation) Field 6: Related text

A structured representation of a thesaurus uses the @value attribute of class Observation and an example instance lloks like this:
<observation moodCode="EVN" classCode="OBS"> … <value xsi:type="CD" code="I2173" codeSystem="1.2.276.0.76.5.309" codeSystemName="alphaid2006"/> ... </observation>
value.@code Alpha-Id ST [1..1] XML-Attribute @code stores the index referring to an enty in the „Alphabetisches Verzeichnis“
value.@codeSystem OID ofAlpha-ID UID [1..1] XML-Attribute @codeSystem stores the OID of the Alpha-ID Version being used.
value.@displayName Alpha-Id Text ST [0..1] XML-Attribute @displayName may be used to display a text related to the current Alpha-Id
value.@codeSystemName Name of Alpha-ID Version ST [0..1] XML-Attribut @codeSystemName represents the Name of the coding system, in our case alphaid2006.
OID and name of ICD-10 Version can be obtained from DIMDI (www.dimdi.de)
Diagnosis Specification using Identifiers in a Nomenclature
One way of specififying a diagnosis is to use the code representing a diagnostic term in some medical nomenclature.
A well-known nomenclature in medicine is SNOMED-CT ("systematic nomenclature of medicine - clinical terms")
Compared to ICD-10 it has more concepts for diagnoses and mostly does not classify.
In general using a term of a nomenclature often preserves more information than using a term of a classification.
Classification is selecting a common representation for a set of concepts that are (under some aspect) considered similar.
As a result, classification reduces information, which is demonstrated by the following examples
I.e. as a part of clinical documentation of diagnosis the encoding using alpha-id or some identifier in a nomenclature would be preferred over using a classification like e.g. ICD-10.
The example shows concepts all being represented through the same ICD-10 code Q92.8 for 'Other specified trisomies and partial trisomies of autosomes'.
A simple comparison of codes from nomenclatures gives an example of missing clarity and precision of the ICD-10 classification.
Diagnosis | ICD-10 Code | Alpha-ID | Snomed CT | ID MACS |
---|---|---|---|---|
Imbalanced Insertion | Q92.8 | I87548 | 254262003 | M002405-D62839-58 |
Trisomy 22 | Q92.8 | I81282 | 205655003 | M001897-D55549-58 |
Trisomy 20 | Q92.8 | I81283 | 53346000 | M002406-D55530-58 |
Partial Trisomy a.n.k. | Q92.8 | I81284 | 133849008 | M001D1C-C78409-58 |
Table 6: Diagnoses in different coding systems
Precoordinated and Postcoordinated Concepts of a Nomenclature
For specifiying a diagnosis using a terminology there are two fundamental approaches:
The pre-coordinated approach selects a fixed term among a comprehensive list with representations for all possible concepts.
The list of all pre-coordinated terms limits the set of concepts which can be represented.
The post-coordinated approach constructs each term out of (more or less independently) encoded aspects of the concept to be represented.
The resulting term is the combination of the encoded aspects of the given concept.
ICD-10 is a good example of a pre-coordinated terminology, as it lists all the terms for the concepts it can represent.
The cross-asterisk extension to ICD-10 is an example of post-coordination.
More info can be found under the Terminfo project [Terminfo] of HL7 International.
Diagnosis by Thesaurus Index or Term within a Nomenclature
A term in a nomenclature is specified through the @value attribute of class Observation.
An example (SNOMED CT) of the structured representation looks like this:
<observation moodCode="EVN" classCode="OBS"> ... <value xsi:type="CD" code="314888007" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.6.96" codeSystemName="SNOMED CT" displayName="Typ-II-Diabetes with diabetic cataract"/> ... </observation>
Attribute value.@code Index or Term in Nomenclature
CD CWE [1..1] The XML attribute @code keeps the index referring to an entry in a thesaurus or nomenclature.
Attribute value.@codeSystem OID of Nomenclature
UID [1..1] The XML attribute @codeSystem stores the OID of the thesaurus or nomenclature.
Attribute value.@displayName Text
ST [0..1] Through the XML attribute @displayName a plain text related to the index can be given.
Attribute value.@codeSystemName Name of Nomenclature
[0..1] The XML attribut @codeSystemName describes the name of the thesausrus or nomenclature.
Representation of Cancer Diagnosis
Introduction
In this chapter, diagnostic aspects of documentation of tumor diseases will be described. Different aspects of diagnostical descriptions of tumor diseases are described by ICD-O (Oncology) and by further classifications to document the expansion (tumor spread) or diseases stage, respectively, the latter one mostly being classified by the TNM-System.
Especially for hemato oncological diseases (Leukemias and Lymphomas), other systems (e.g. Ann-Arbor-Classification) are used. TNM-System discribes:
- Expansion of primary tumor (extent or, spread in distant organs repectively)
- Affection of lymph nodes in lymph flow area
- Existence of distant metastases.
For non-TNM–-classifiable diseases or in addition to the TNM-System there are a number of further classification systems:
- Ann Arbor
- Rai
- Binet
- CML-Phasen
- FAB
- Durie and Salmon
- Gleason-Score
Discriptions can be found here: http://www.med.uni-giessen.de/akkk/gtds/grafisch/doku/bd5f.htm http://www.tumorzentren.de/tl_files/dokumente/adt_basis.pdf
This list probably will be always incomplete because of the medical progress.
ICD-O
Third Edition of ICD-O [DIMDI, WHO] is the topical one. ICD-O consists of two axes, Topography- and Morphology-Axis. In ICD-O, tumor can be classified by
- Site
- Tissue Structure (Histology)
- Biological behaviour (Dignity)
- Tissue grading (mostly in two or four stages)
In this case, tissue structure and tissue grading is redundant. Precisely: The first four digits of morphology-code describe tissue-type. The fifth one describes biological behaviour (dignity-code):
- /0 = benign
- /1 = neoplasm with uncertain or unknown behaviour
- /2 = Cancer in situ
- /3 = malignant, primary tumor
- /6 = malignant, metastasis (not used in tumor documentation)
- /9 = malignant, uncertain wether primary tumor or a metastatic
The sixth digit describes grading, differentiation or phenotype (Histology/Pathology):
- 1 = Grade I, well differentiated (Low grade)
- 2 = Grade II, moderately differentiated (Intermediate grade)
- 3 = Grade III, poorly differentiated (High grade)
- 4 = Grade IV, undifferentiated (High grade)
- 9 = Grade IX, grade cannot be assessed
For Leukemias and Lymphomas, the sixth digit signifies the immunophenotype
- 5 = T-Cell
- 6 = B-Cell, Pre-B-Cell, B-Ancestor-Cell
- 7 = Null-Cell, Not-T-Cell-Not-B-Cell
- 8 = NK-Cell, Natural Killer Cell
- 9 = Determination of Cell Type was not accomplished, not specified or not applicable
TNM System describes
- Expansion of primary tumor (extent repectivly spread in distant organs)
- Affection of lymph nodes in lymph flow area
- Exisistence of distant metastasis
For the topography axis, there exists an (hierarchical) enlargement, the ‘localisation key’ (Wagner, G. (HRSG.): Tumorlokalisationsschlüssel, 5. Auflage, Springer Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo 1993), which can supply at some positions clinical relevant differentiation. The morphology axis is composed of a four-digit code for tissue basic structure, a characteristic number for dignity and an additional grading item. The key itself does not contain all possible combinations of histology and dignity, but points out those ones, for whome exist special discriptions. Vice versa not all combinations of basic structure and dignity are possible (so there is no ‘benign leukemia’). Not either there is a grading system available for all kinds of tumor. For some ones, additional information (for Example ‘Cell-line’) is used at the corresponding position.
Tumor Localization
For Tumor-Coding first of all, the site is important. It will be classified by the Topography -Axis of ICD-O. Topographical -Codes of ICD-10 are based on chapter II (Neoplasm –C 00 – C 97) of ICD-10. However, some of the topographical Codes of ICD-10 (Codes) are not used, because their content is discribed by histology- and digit-Codes of ICD-O. (e.g. Differentiation in situ/ infiltrated, melanoma vs. scin cancer).
Tumor Histology and Dignity
Furthermore, in ICD-O, tumor morphology i.e. tissue structure (histology) and biological behavior (dignity) is discribed by special Codes. Tumor histology is coded by a four-digit number, which is assumed of the morphology-axis of Standardized Nomenclature of Patholoy (SNOP). Dignity-Code is attendant on morphology-Code, seperated by /. Examples:
- 8060/0 squamous epithelium - papillomatose
- 8070/2 squamous epithelium – cancer in situ undifferentiated
- 8070/3 squamous epithelium – cancer undifferentiated
- 8070/6 squamous epithelium – cancer metastasis undifferentiated
Tumor Grading
Grading is derived from the comparison of primary tissue with the neoplasm of this tissue. There are five grading-degrees (s.o.) and further three degrees for Malignant Lymphoma. Registration of tumor grading is also provided in TNM.
Qualifier of Tumor Formular
ICD-O –Codes can be specified by the following qualifier:
Here ICD-O provides additionally the following codes for Lymphoma, which specify the Cell line: B-Cell, T-Cell, Null-Cell Lymphoma. ICD-O uses the Codes 1 – 9. A detailled System is discribed in Chapter 9 under 9.5.2 and 9.53.
Example
GRAPHIC IS MISSING
DisplayName is only available in correlation to qualifiers. According to ICD-O-3 formation rule there are much more discriptions possible as ICD-Catalog proposes.
TNM Classification
The TNM classification describes the expansion (spread) of the tumor , i.e. stadium and prognosis of the disease.
As a special feature, the TNM classification uses the same notation for all tumors but supports different interpretations for different entities.
As an example, a T3 for mamma carcinoma has a different interpretation then the stomach carcinoma.
The current edition is 7th which is valid since January 2010, which is a reason why many TNM-6- codes may still be in use. Therefore all TNM-codes should have a version identifier, because non translatable differences are in the different editions.
A simple overview can be found in http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNM.
The T category will be used for the expansion of the primary tumor,
where the stages T0, Tis, T1-T4 und TX are being used, the "higher"
the number, the more progress is being diagnosed and the more adverse the prognosis.
T0 stands for "no primary tumor found" (e.g. because being eradicated by therapy) Tis stands for a very early (non-infiltrating) stage tumor (Tumor in situ) and TX stands for a diagnosis which can not judge the stage because of missing data
For some tumors subcategories like e.g. T2a, T2b have been defined.
The N-category classifies the affection of lymphatic nodes - usingN0, N1-N3, NX, where N0 means "no lymphatic node affected".
For some tumors, thisexclusion ("N0") requires the examination of a minimum amount of nodes.
The higher the N category the more severe is the lymphatic node affection.
If no sufficient data is available NX is being diagnosed.
The M category describes the existence of distant metastases, with the vallues of M0 (no metastases detectable), M1 (metastases detectable) and MX (insufficient data).
The TNM can be used according to clinical criteria (preoperative, cTNM) and according to the pathology findings (pTNM).
For many patients one single diagnoss will be made, either a cTNM or a pTNM, such that this type of finding must be distinguished.
This preoperative ("c" or no prefix) / pathology ("p") attribute can be captured independently for each of the T N M categories.
Therefore the typically used pTNM often meanes pTpNcM, because the spread of a timur can best be diagnosed through surgery while lymphatic spread only by pathology.
The prefix "r" describes remaining tumors (after non-disease intervals) and a prefix "y" if the classification was assessed after systemic or radiation treatment (ycTNM, ypTNM etc.).
For multiple Primary tumors the suffix "m" (or the number of tumors) will be put after the T-category value(T2(m), T2(5)).
Therefore a complete TNM formula looks like this:
There are voluntary components e.g. the certainty-Faktor (C-Factor)
Other components require pathology lab examination (L-, V- or Pn-Category)
- y-Symbol (y or empty, disgnosis after systematic or xray treatment)
- r-Symbol (r or empty, remainder)
- p/c/a-Symbol for pT-category (clinical or pathological)
- T-Category
- (m) for multiple localizations or number of tumors
- C-Factor for T-Category (certainty)
- L-Category
- V-Category
- Pn-Category
- p/c/a-Symbol for pN-Category (clinical or pathological)
- N-Category
- C-Factor for N-Category (certainty)
- p/c/a-Symbol für pM-Category
- M-Category
- C-Factor for M-Category (certainty)
- S-Kategorie (serological values, only for testicle tumors)
- UICC-Stadium (Grading via UICC 0 and I-IV together with
letter A, B and C for further classification).
For some tumors further modifiers are being documented as a suffix (mostly in parenthenses) like e.g. (sn), (mol-),(mol+).
In addition, the TNM supplement introduces innovative or "under test" extensions, which raises doubts whether ta full control of TNM entries.
Typical T-Categories (without pre-/suffices) are being listed in chapter "Sites"
Typical N-Categories (without pre-/suffices) are being listed in chapter "Nodes".
Typical M-Categories (without pre-/suffices) are being listed in chapter "Metastases".

Qualifiers of the Tumor Formula
Despite values for T,N and M the TNM formula may also contain various qualifiers. The following table gives an overview which qualifiers can be used for which information and where they are being used. This is case-sensitive !
a Autoptical c Clinical C C-Faktor (certainty) G histopathological Grading L Lymphatic vessel invasion m multiple Tumors M distant metastases N Regional lymphatic node metastases p pathological Pn perineural Invasion r Rezidiv tumor R Residual tumor after treatment sn Sentinel-Lymphatic nodes Stage Anatomic Stage-Grouping T Expansion (spreading) of Primary tumor V Venous invasion y Classifikation after initial multi-modal Therapy
Ann Arbor Classification
For lymphoma the TNM-classification does not make sense and therefore theso-called Ann-Arbor classification will be applied.
In this system, the stages I-IV are being distinguished, with an additional suffix letter - A meaning "no general symptoms" - B "with general symptoms" - E "extra-lymphatic organ affected" - S "spleen affected"
As with TNM, the Ann-Arbor classification distinguishes between cliniclal (cS) and pathological (pS) grading.
According to Durie & Salmon tere are gradings from I to III or the grades according to SWOG from 1-4 for the "Multiple Myeloma".
FIGO Stages
FIGO stages ignificantly overlap with the TNM classification, especially on the T-axis.
Therefore no details are being given here.
Gleason Score
The so-called Gleason-Score serves to classify the prostate carcinoma. The total numeric value is the sum of two indicators for • loss of differentiation (1-5) • growth pattern (1-5)
Resulting values range from 2 to 10 (also see Scores & Assessment DSTU).
Furthermore there is a more recent Gleason classification (according to Dhom, Müller and Helpap [Helpap 2002, Helpap2007]), which also requires to specify the procedure (esp. the two degrees) being used.
Papanikolaou
The so-called Pap-Test [Pap] is based on colored cell samples from the cervix and is used as an early indocator for cervical cancers.
WHO Grading
The so-called WHO Grading serves as an individual progonossi on the one hand and also is an indicator towards further treatment on the other hand.
Tumors of WHO Grade I and II in most cases can be treated by surgery alone, while tumors with WHO Grading III and IV normally need additional treatment by radiation or chemotherapie after surgery.
The grading looks like this:
Code | Codename | Meaning |
---|---|---|
I | benign,slow growth of tumor, very good prognosis | |
II | still benign, slow growth of tumor,tendency to recur | |
III | malignant,actively producing abnormal cells,tends to recur | |
IV | very malignant,fast growth,needs systemic therapy, bad prognosis |
Table 9: WHO Grading (OID 1.2.276.0.76.5.394)
The fourth edition of the "World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of tumours of the central nervous system" (2007) lists all relevant tumor entities.

Codes for TNM-Classification
The TNM classification according to UICC is being a codesystem as a whole. Therefore all tables share the same OID for documentation purposes.
An easy way to handle this is the definition of value sets, each with the respective permitted values. Each code may only be used in some documentation if the respective UICC edition is checkmarked in our table– which states that the respective code is a part of that edition . |

Tumors
This section lists known T-Categories ref. 17 (without representing possible extensions). Descriptions vary with the related entity. Codes shall be used along with tumor diagnosis, as one code may have different meanings. (e.g. T1 may refer to 23 cm or 24 cm).
