2023-09-25 Sequence, ICD-11, DORIS - Response 1

[mortality-forum]

Hello everyone, I hope you're well.

 Has anyone used or tested the DORIS tool?

 In the following sequence:

a) parkinson's disease

b) gastric ulcer

 The underlying cause of death given by the tool is gastric ulcer.

 Do you accept this sequence?

 Thank you

Response from Dr. Torres, Mexico

 

DORIS should have applied SP5 and selected Parkinson's Disease, because this disease is not due to gastric ulcer. Its etiology is unknown, but it is associated with several factors that do not include gastric ulcer. However, this rejected sequence is not found in the ICD-11 Reference Guide and was therefore not applied. This must be included.​
