For pneumococcal pneumonia (ICD-9-CM code 481) and pneumonia with specified organism (ICD-9-CM code 482-483), the sensitivities were 35% and 18.3%, respectively.
Study design and setting: Based on microbiological analysis data, 293 patients with a principal diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia at seven hospitals in the Netherlands were assigned to three categories (pneumococcal pneumonia, pneumonia with other organism, or pneumonia with no organism specified).
Ventilator-acquired pneumonia; ventilator lung in newborn (P27.8); Ventilator associated pneumonitis; code to identify the organism, if known (B95.-, B96.-, B97.-) code to identify the organism, if known ( B95.-, B96.-, B97.-)
However, the accuracy of coding data to identify laboratory-confirmed pneumococcal pneumonia is not known.
A: When the provider uses terms such as “CAP,” “HAP,” or “HCAP,” these would default to code J18. 9, pneumonia, unspecified organism, which maps to simple pneumonia MS-DRG 193/194/195. Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is typically a simple pneumonia, but could also be atypical pneumonia.
486Most patients (110 360 [68.3%]) had an ICD-9 code for pneumonia, organism unspecified (486). The organisms most frequently specified were influenza (5891 [3.6%]), S pneumoniae (4090 [2.5%]), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (3747 [2.3%]).

The flu (influenza) virus is the major viral cause of CAP. Having the flu also makes you more likely to get bacterial pneumonia....Some other common bacteria that cause CAP are:Haemophilus influenzae.Mycoplasma pneumoniae.Chlamydia pneumoniae.Legionella.Gram-negative bacilli.Staphylococcus aureus.

The ICD-10-CM is a morbidity classification published by the United States for classifying diagnoses and reason for visits in all health care settings. The ICD-10-CM is based on the ICD-10, the statistical classification of disease published by the World Health Organization (WHO).

pneumonia is a topic covered in the Taber's Medical Dictionary. (noo-mōn′yă) [pneumono- + -ia] ABBR: PNA Inflammation of the lungs, usually due to infection with bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. Clinically, pneumonia is an infectious disease.
The ICD-CM codes for asthma have changed from 493.00 – 493.99 in ICD-9-CM to J45.
A manifestation is a condition expressed as a result of something else. Hemiplegia is a manifestation of a stroke, for example; metabolic encephalopathy is a manifestation of severe hyponatremia. Pneumonia is not a manifestation of COPD. It is a manifestation of a lung infection from some pathogenic organism.
If you think about it, J44.0 is a manifestation of the acute lower respiratory tract infection; if bronchitis or pneumonia wasn’t present, the code would be J44.9, COPD, unspecified, instead.
My answer was actually yes to both. First, just having COPD with an acute lower respiratory tract infection is not grounds for admission. In my experience, if a patient with COPD is not experiencing an exacerbation but is thought to require admission for treatment of pneumonia, then the condition that occasioned the admission is clearly ...
