General Notes

Beginning with the 2017 HCUP databases, International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) external cause of morbidity codes are included with other diagnoses in the diagnosis-related data elements (I10_DXn, I10_NDX, and DXPOAn) and are no longer retained in separate data elements (I10_ECAUSEn, I10_NECAUSE, and E_POAn). Prior to 2017, E_POAn is used to indicate whether each external cause of injury code (I10_ECAUSEn for the fourth quarter of 2015 and all of 2016; ECODEn prior to the fourth quarter of 2015) was present at admission. This provides an indicator of complications arising during a hospitalization. The coding of this data element is consistent with the UB-04 standards. No edits checks are performed on this data element during HCUP processing.
