Patient-Led Research Collaborative (PLRC) is soliciting comments in support of adding an ICD code for the symptom of PEM to the US ICD-10-CM. To...
Yes, I hear you.
I have asked but at this time, do not know when or how the draft protocol will be released for review. I've told Cochrane there are lots of...
