Tools for Classifying International Classification of Diseases (ICD) Codes

 

Barell Matrix 

The Barell Matrix is a two-dimensional array of three-, four-, and five-digit ICD-9-CM injury codes grouped by the body region of the injury and the nature of the injury and was developed by the International Collaborative Effort on Injury Statistics

 

ICD-9 Framework for Presenting Injury Mortality Data - External Cause

The ICD-9 External Cause Matrix emphasizes the mechanism or cause of the injury and places secondary emphasis on the manner or intent of the injury.

 

ICD-9-CM Framework for Presenting Injury Morbidity Data-External Cause

This matrix contains the ICD-9-CM external cause of injury codes that are not included in ICD-9 mortality codes. In addition, a list of codes that have been added since 1994 is appended to the matrix.

ICD-10 Framework for Injury Mortality Diagnosis Matrix

The ICD-10 Injury Mortality Diagnosis (IMD) matrix is a framework designed to organize injury diagnosis mortality data into meaningful groupings by body region and nature of injury.

 

ICD-10 Framework for Presenting Injury Mortality Data - External Cause

The ICD-10 External Cause Matrix emphasizes the mechanism or cause of the injury and places secondary emphasis on the manner or intent of the injury. The ICD-10 injury mortality framework was developed to be as consistent as possible with the recommended framework developed based on the ICD-9 external cause of injury codes.
