Dear all,

 

In Sweden we’ve decided to use the code for pedal cyclist injured in transport accident, V10-V19.

Response from Liliana Bernardo, Portugal

 

Hello , Based on volume 1 of ICD-10, external causes:

 

We in Portugal consider that if it is electric it has a motor and if it has a motor it must be coded in the motorcycle code likeas indicated in the inclusions and exclusions (V20-V29).

 

Best Regards,

Response from Dr. Torres, Mexico

There is no specific code for these two terms in the ICD-10, but there are categories for occupants or injured in two- and three-wheeled motor vehicle accidents.

To assign the code, it is necessary to specify the location of the injured person (pedestrian, cyclist, occupant, etc.), Vehicle or counterparty in the accident, Place of occurrence, Occurrence inside or outside traffic or public highway, etc.

Some of the possible codes for these two types of vehicles would be:

V10.0-V19.9 or only V12.0-V12.9, V22.0-V22.9, V32, V42, V52, V62, V72 (.0-.9), V80.3, V87.0-V87.1, V88.0-V88 .1.
