Note that whatever term the clinician/coder uses from ICD-11, all terms code to ICD-11's 8E49.

I know many will welcome this addition but personally, I have never liked the term "chronic fatigue syndrome" and my preference would be not to have it coupled with "myalgic encephalomyelitis" in classification, terminology systems and clinical settings. The international edition of SNOMED-CT...

Jen Brea was trying to whip up interest a few years ago for a multi diagnosis/symptoms coalition group for "giraffes", "zebras" and a Noah's ark of conditions.

I'm not a fan of "overlapping symptom" collaborations and I remain concerned that "PEM" is going to end up meaning anything anyone wants it to mean - especially if CDC/NCHS do eventually approve the request for adding a symptom code for PEM to the US's ICD-10-CM Symptoms and signs chapter. The...

My adult son had received a diagnosis from an NHS paediatric consultant in mid 1999. Initially, he was given a tentative diagnosis of "Postviral fatigue". This was subsequently revised in clinic follow-up letters to ME/PVFS, ME/CFS, CFS, CFS/ME depending on which member of the clinic staff he...

You can ask your practice to use any of the terms: Iceland disease Benign myalgic encephalomyelitis Chronic fatigue syndrome Myalgic encephalomyelitis syndrome ME - Myalgic encephalomyelitis Myalgic encephalomyelitis CFS - Chronic fatigue syndrome Chronic fatigue...

My GP practice uses SystmOne for patient EMRs which is a clinical computer system produced by TPP. I have access to SystmOnline (the portal for patients) and can view my medical notes online or via the Airmid app and the CTv3 codes are all visible. But some people I know whose GP practices use...

NHS England uses both but for different purposes. SNOMED CT has been mandated for use in patients' electronic medical records at the point of contact in primary care since 2018, though some practices have been slower to implement than others. This presentation may be of interest...

Saturday's Times "Weekend" supplement print edition 15 March 2025 (pp 32-33): Weekend Essay "Spotting disease early can save lives but medical advances have led to an epidemic of overdiagnosis - and this is doing more harm than good," writes Suzanne O'Sullivan Autism, ADHD, early diagnosis of...

If 'there had been no changes to the substance of those "regulated clauses"' why had they put out a Resolution for specific changes to articles 24 and 28 in 2013? A great deal of the wording of the entire Articles had been redrafted from version 2007 to version 2013 because of the adoption of...

Indeed. One cannot help but conclude that Mr Riley preferred obfuscation over setting out clearly what had happened and took a perverse delight in our frustration trying to make sense of it all.
