The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a globally used diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management, and clinical purposes. The ICD is maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations System.
Icd has disadvantages in cases of few or none information about the patience in which classification is not achieved, according to a post published at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
"DISADVANTAGES OF ICD CLASSIFICATION. This classification is not suitable in cases where few or no information about the patient is available. In such a case only symptoms of the disease can be coded that can be caused by several different medical conditions that can be regularly coded if we have enough information to confirm the diagnosis. Above mentioned tasks cannot be achieved using ICD 10 classification. The definitive diagnosis that can be coded using ICD can be achieved after several visits of patient and rarely during the first visit."
