Using the ICD-10 book, select the appropriate ICD-10 code: Injury by shotgun, undetermined whether accidental or intentional (shooting) (initial encounter) (***2 codes needed) T14.90, Y23.0xxA Using the ICD-10 book, select the appropriate ICD-10 code: Irritable bowel syndrome
Forthcoming changes in coding (i.e., the introduction of ICD-10) will reduce the already limited information on the type of firearm involved in shooting injuries. Only handguns will be distinguished with any useful degree of specificity, and these account for a small proportion of cases in Australia.
Airgun shootings are not distinguished under either ICD-9 or ICD-10. “Accidental” airgun shooting moves from the residual category of “Striking against or struck accidentally by object or person – other” under ICD-9 to the residual categories for “Discharge from other and unspecified firearms” under ICD-10.

Damage inflicted on the body as the direct or indirect result of an external force, with or without disruption of structural continuity.
Injuries are typically coded from Chapter 19 of the ICD-10 manual, “Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes” (codes S00-T88).
Gunshot wounds are complex, violent, traumatic injuries commonly encountered in forensic practice. These injuries are caused by penetration of the body with projectiles ejected from a barrel due to the ignition of gunpowder. The study of these injuries is also called wound ballistics.

Y24.9 describes the circumstance causing an injury, not the nature of the injury. This chapter permits the classification of environmental events and circumstances as the cause of injury, and other adverse effects. Where a code from this section is applicable, it is intended that it shall be used secondary to a code from another chapter ...
Current coding of deaths and admitted hospital cases due to firearm injury: does not distinguish cases die to airguns, etc.; includes some poorly defined categories and; does not correspond to current Australian firearm license categories.
Shooting injuries account for about 500 deaths per year, and for a similar number of hospital admissions, in Australia.
The introduction of ICD-10 will reduce the already limited information on the type of firearm involved in shooting injuries. Only handguns will be distinguished with any useful degree of specificity.
Code firearm injury cases in Australian hospital separations (preferably also deaths data) according to the approach shown in Attachment 2. This approach:
