Template:ICD9/doc

This template allows editors to directly link to an online version of the World Health Organization's diagnostic classification ICD-9. It's primarily intended for use with {{medical resources}}.

Parameters

The template takes 1 parameter:

{{ICD9|code}}

• code - The complete ICD-9 code

Examples of use

The ICD-9 code 796.2 is for "Abnormal blood-pressure reading, without diagnosis". In that case, the website URL will look as follows:

• http://www.icd9data.com/2015/Volume1/780-799/790-796/796/796.2.htm

Using this template, it will show the website external link as follows:

• 796.2: {{ICD9|796.2}}: 796.2

Ranges

Using code ranges within the template that are not found in the classification will cause the link to the online code browser to return a "Not Found" message.

Therefore it is best to avoid using formatting that will cause this issue

• N{{ICD9|426.2-426.5}}
• N{{ICD9|426.2–.5}}

Instead link to each code individually, or the first and last code in the range:

• Y{{ICD9|426.2}}, {{ICD9|426.3}}, {{ICD9|426.4}}, {{ICD9|426.5}}
• Y{{ICD9|426.2}}–{{ICD9|426.5}}

Listing the fourth character range outside and directly after the template is also an option. However, it is worth noting that with this method the fourth characters will appear after the external link () indicator:

• {{ICD9|426}}.2–.5 will be displayed as 426.2–.5
