Decompensated cirrhosis is defined as an acute deterioration in liver function in a patient with cirrhosis and is characterised by jaundice, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome or variceal haemorrhage.

Decompensated cirrhosis is an advanced form of cirrhosis that's associated with liver failure. While there aren't many treatment options for it, a liver transplant can have a big impact on life expectancy.
Compensated: When you don't have any symptoms of the disease, you're considered to have compensated cirrhosis. Decompensated: When your cirrhosis has progressed to the point that the liver is having trouble functioning and you start having symptoms of the disease, you're considered to have decompensated cirrhosis.

The PPVs for ‘grouped cirrhosis’ codes (0.96), hepatocellular carcinoma (0.97) ascites (0.97) and ‘grouped varices’ (0 .95) were good (κ all >0.60). However, codes under-detected the prevalence of cirrhosis, ascites and varices (sensitivity 81.4%, 61.9% and 61.3%, respectively). Overall accuracy was lower for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (‘grouped’ PPV 0.75; κ 0.73) and the poorest for encephalopathy (‘grouped’ PPV 0.55; κ 0.21). To optimise detection of cirrhosis-related encounters, an ICD-10-AM code algorithm was constructed and validated in an independent cohort of 116 patients with known cirrhosis.
A total of 413 encounters had evidence of cirrhosis on medical record review. Accuracy of four individual ICD-10-AM codes (K70.3, K74.4, K74.5, K74.6) to detect the presence of cirrhosis was variable, with PPVs ranging from 0.67 to 1.00 (table 1). No single code could reliably exclude the presence of cirrhosis (all NPVs≤0.35). A combination of the four cirrhosis codes provided a high probability (PPV 0.96) that a patient with ≥1 of these codes had cirrhosis documented in the medical record during that encounter. However, the combination under-detected cirrhosis prevalence (only 336 of 413 encounters in patients with cirrhosis were identified (table 2); sensitivity 81.4%; NPV 0.60).

These data on the strengths and limitations of the ICD-10-AM will inform future large-scale epidemiological research and healthcare studies, which may be used to guide delivery of health services and strategies to improve health outcomes for people with cirrhosis in Australia and internationally.
Multiple ICD-10-AM codes should be considered when using administrative databases to study the burden of cirrhosis and its complications in Australia, to avoid underestimation of the prevalence, morbidity, mortality and related resource utilisation from this burgeoning chronic disease.
The utility of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes relies on the accuracy of clinical reporting and administrative coding, which may be influenced by country-specific codes and coding rules.
K74.6 Other and unspecified cirrhosis of liver
A total of 6,714 patients had primary chart data abstracted. A single physician visit code for cirrhosis was sensitive (98–99%), and a single hospital diagnostic code for cirrhosis was specific (91–96%). The most sensitive algorithm for decompensated cirrhosis was one cirrhosis code with any of: a hospital diagnostic code, death code, or procedure code for decompensation (range 88–99% across groups). The most specific was one cirrhosis code and one hospital diagnostic code (range 89–98% across groups). Two physician visit codes or a single hospital diagnostic code, death code, or procedure code combined with a code for cirrhosis were sensitive and specific for hepatocellular carcinoma (sensitivity 94–96%, specificity 93–98%).
Cirrhosis algorithms ranged from cirrhosis codes only to combinations with codes for chronic liver disease or any complication (decompensa tion events, HCC or liver transplant). Algorithms were combined in such a way as to make them more sensitive (“or” combinations) or specific (“and” combinations). As physician visit codes were noted to be less specific, we aimed to increase specificity by combining two or more such codes with hospitalization codes.
In 2016, 1.26 million people worldwide died of cirrhosis and chronic liver diseases, and their complications.[1] Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mortality rates are rising faster than those from any other malignancy.[2] Globally, viral hepatitis secondary to hepatitis B and C virus infection underlies 55% of cirrhosis-related deaths and 61% of deaths from HCC.[1] Yet, many patients with liver disease remain undiagnosed, largely because they remain asymptomatic until a late stage.[3, 4] Of late, much progress has been made in the prevention and treatment of viral hepatitis. Many jurisdictions have advanced the timing of immunization against hepatitis B virus (HBV) from early adolescence to infancy.[5, 6] Further, new treatments for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have enabled large numbers of patients to achieve sustained virologic response, a marker of long-term clinical cure.[7–10] Finally, our understanding of the epidemic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in North America is just beginning and the natural history of this disease is still not completely defined.
An example is a patient with alcoholic hepatitis presenting with ascites. Only ICD-10-CM code K70.11 would be reported since this code includes the symptom of ascites.
In June CMS released the final ICD-10-PCS codes for FY2022, which begins October 1, 2021. We are giving you a sneak peek at the changes. HIA will have a full educational module on these changes available later this summer.
In this part, the ICD-10-PCS procedure codes are presented. For FY2021 ICD-10-PCS there are 78,115 total codes (FY2020 total was 77,571); 556 new codes (734 new last year in FY2020)…
If the sign/symptom is routinely associated with a disease then it is not typically reported as an additional diagnosis. An example of an exception to this would be ascites due to cirrhosis. Although ascites is routinely present in patients with cirrhosis, it typically requires additional treatment/monitoring (diuretics, paracentesis, and additional radiology exams). If the symptom requires any special attention then it would be appropriate to report in addition to the associated disease. The disease/etiology of the symptom would be sequenced before the symptoms code.
