title: [Diagnosis and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death].
abstract: International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Traumata and Causes of Death does not regulate the wording of diagnosis in the medical history, protocol of a post mortem examination, or even medical certificate of cause of death. The only thing that is required in the latter is putting the pathogenetic sequence in reverse order and indicating in point Ia the certificate of illness or complication rather than functional diagnosis essential for the work of encoders. Therefore it is not and has never been necessary to fit formulations of diagnoses and features of statistical statements together and there is no need for introduction into the diagnosis of the International Classification of Diseases the generalizing terms either. It is physicians-statisticians that are to be concerned with encoding of diagnoses, know all fine points, all the ins and outs of the statistical statement of such-and-such diseases and conditions.
