- W2950384414 abstract "We review the history of the classification and coding changes for anaphylaxis and provide current and perspective information in the field. In 2012, an analysis of Brazilian data demonstrated undernotification of anaphylaxis-related deaths because of the difficulties of coding using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision. This work triggered strategic international actions supported by the Joint Allergy Academies and the International Classification of Diseases World Health Organization (WHO) leadership to update the classification of allergic disorders for the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11), which resulted in construction of the pioneer “Allergic and hypersensitivity conditions” chapter. The usability of the new framework has been tested by evaluating the same data published in 2012 from the ICD-11 perspective. Coding accuracy was much improved, reaching 95% for definite anaphylaxis. As the results were provided to the WHO Mortality Reference Group, coding rules have been changed, allowing anaphylaxis to be recorded as an underlying cause of death in official mortality statistics. The mandatory use of ICD-11 from January 2022 for documenting cause of death could have 2 immediate consequences: (1) the reported number of anaphylaxis-related deaths might increase because of more appropriate coding and (2) the cross-sectional and longitudinal mortality data generated might ultimately lead to a better understanding of anaphylaxis epidemiology and improved health policies directed at reducing anaphylaxis-related mortality.

Rational disease classification dates back to Hippocrates, but the first modern medical classification considering true ontology of diseases was developed in 1735 by Carl Linnaeus, who divided diseases into 11 classes, 37 orders, and 325 species.1Pulteney R. Maton W.G. Troilius C. von Linné C. A general view of the writings of Linnaeus. J. Mawman, London1805Google Scholar Although this classification contained some errors from a modern perspective, this framework laid the foundation for work that eventually led to the first edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which was published in 1893.2Knibbs G.H. The International classification of disease and causes of death and its revision.Med J Aust. 1929; 1: 2-12Google Scholar It had been preceded in 1885 by the first “International List of Causes of Death,” which had been drafted by Jacques Bertillon and colleagues, and distinguished between systemic diseases and those localized to a particular organ or anatomic site; it was officially adopted for use in mortality registries in 1893.3Moriyama I.M.

Anaphylaxis was not included in the original list of diseases because it was not formally described until 1902.3Moriyama I.M. Loy R.M. Robb-Smith A.H.T. Rosenberg H.M. Hoyert D.L. History of the statistical classification of diseases and causes of death. National Center for Health Statistics, Hyattsville (MD)2011Google Scholar Currently, most countries have been using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10; or adaptations), for morbidity and mortality statistics. Although the ICD is generally reviewed by the World Health Organization (WHO) periodically, anaphylaxis has never been well captured in this international system. According to the WHO ICD rules, the underlying cause of death is defined as the disease or injury that initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death.4WHO mortality Web site.https://www.who.int/topics/mortality/en/Google Scholar Although a well-known cause of death, particularly in the fields of allergy and emergency medicine, anaphylaxis has never been appropriately classified in the different versions of the ICD and has never been considered an underlying cause of death on death certificates, as demonstrated repeatedly and most recently confirmed in research performed in Brazil.5Tanno L.K.

Many of the latter are preventable or treatable and therefore warrant the attention of public health officials.4WHO mortality Web site.https://www.who.int/topics/mortality/en/Google Scholar Mortality data provide valuable benchmarks for evaluating progress in increasing years of healthy life.6Hynes M. Mueller L.M. Li H. Amadeo F.

However, the availability of adrenaline autoinjectors (AAIs) for use in first-aid treatment is limited to just 32% of the world's 195 nations, the majority of them high-income countries.7Kase Tanno L. Demoly P. Joint Allergy AcademiesAction plan to reach the global availability of adrenaline auto-injectors.J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. 2018; ([Epub ahead of print])Crossref Scopus (7) Google Scholar Key issues leading to the lack of availability of AAIs include high cost but also national regulations, lack of regional evidence about the value of epinephrine, and a paucity of accurate data on anaphylaxis epidemiology. Lack of accurate mortality information hinders understanding of the public health effect of anaphylaxis and of the need for appropriate therapeutic interventions and investments, such as AAIs, to reduce that effect. Because mortality monitoring is of such value to public health authorities, mortality registration is mandatory in almost all countries. Vital statistics systems record certain information on each death and periodically sum the number of deaths to calculate rates and trends. Analysis of mortality data typically involves comparisons of data sets. However, unless the data have been compiled using the same methods and according to the same standards, such comparisons have the potential to yield misleading results. For these reasons, the WHO has issued international instructions on data collection, coding, and classification and statistical presentation of causes of death. In most countries, mortality statistics are routinely compiled according to regulations and recommendations adopted by the World Health Assembly (WHA). The international mortality coding instructions presuppose that data have been collected with a death certificate conforming to the “International form of medical certificate of cause of death.”8World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases Web site.http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/en/Google Scholar It is the responsibility of the medical practitioner or other qualified certifier signing the death certificate to indicate which morbid conditions led directly to death and to state any antecedent conditions giving rise to or contributing to this cause. The WHO's mortality data reflect deaths registered by national civil death registration systems, with the underlying cause of death coded by the national authority.8World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases Web site.http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/en/Google Scholar If a condition or a disease is not considered an “underlying cause of death,” national registration systems are not able to capture related accurate data on cause of death. All definitions of anaphylaxis for clinical use by health care professionals incorporate the concept of a serious, generalized, allergic or hypersensitivity reaction that can be life-threatening and even fatal.9Simons F.E.R.

In 2012, we estimated the magnitude of undernotification and underreporting of anaphylaxis-related deaths using information derived from both the underlying and contributing causes of death data from the Brazilian Mortality Information System (Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade). In this study we analyzed all 3,296,247 death records from 2008 to 2010 using ICD-10 and found a total of 498 anaphylaxis-related deaths based on secondary data, with an average anaphylaxis-related death rate of 0.87/million/y categorized as “definitive” or “possible” cases.5Tanno L.K. Ganem F. Demoly P. Toscano C.M. Bierrenbach A.L. Undernotification of anaphylaxis deaths in Brazil due to difficult coding under the ICD-10.Allergy. 2012; 67: 783-789Crossref PubMed Scopus (85) Google Scholar We considered as “possible anaphylaxis-related deaths” cases that had an isolated allergic or hypersensitivity clinical condition listed as a contributing cause of death (eg, angioedema or urticaria). We decided that such conditions, unless presented together with other more specific anaphylaxis codes, could only rarely be considered an underlying cause of death. All records described as anaphylaxis or having an allergic or hypersensitivity condition as the underlying cause of death associated with the possible trigger as contributing mortality data were classified as “definitive anaphylaxis-related deaths.” The remaining and unspecified cases (eg, missing immediate cause of death in the death certificates) were considered “death unrelated to anaphylaxis,” such as cases of septic shock. Two coders were responsible for the analysis, and there was a high agreement on classification procedures between them (Cohen κ value = 0.91).5Tanno L.K. Ganem F. Demoly P. Toscano C.M.

Undernotification of anaphylaxis deaths in Brazil due to difficult coding under the ICD-10.Allergy. 2012; 67: 783-789Crossref PubMed Scopus (85) Google Scholar The study called attention to the need for better coding not only for anaphylaxis-related deaths but also for all allergic and hypersensitivity conditions, which would otherwise be misclassified in ICD-10 and early International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11; May 2014 version).26WHO International Classification of Diseases 10th edition (2016 version) Web site.https://icd.who.int/browse10/2016/enGoogle Scholar The timing of the study was opportune because the ICD-11 revision process was underway. An important reason for this misclassification is the difficulty of coding anaphylaxis fatalities under the WHO ICD system. In the ICD-10 (2016 version) platform,26WHO International Classification of Diseases 10th edition (2016 version) Web site.https://icd.who.int/browse10/2016/enGoogle Scholar anaphylaxis is classified under the “XIX Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes” chapter, specifically the “T78 Adverse effects, not elsewhere classified” section. It is striking that only severe cases of anaphylaxis are listed under the same category (“T78.2 Anaphylactic shock”) and that it is classified at the same level of “anaphylactic shock due to adverse food reaction,” “angioneurotic edema,” and “allergy, unspecified.” Causes of deaths are classified and grouped according to the ICD edition in use at the time, and the information on death certificates is collected by using the international form recommended by the WHO. However, a limited number of ICD-10 codes are considered to be valid for representing underlying causes of death on current death certificates, and with regard to anaphylaxis as such, there are simply no valid codes (Fig 1). Under development since 2007, ICD-11 is intended not only to rectify deficiencies in ICD-10 and to incorporate changes driven by scientific advances but also to take advantage of the revolution in electronic data handling since the publication of ICD-10 a quarter of a century ago.8World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases Web site.http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/en/Google Scholar ICD-11 can be regarded as a suite of classifications based on a detailed and comprehensive polyhierarchical Web-like Foundation (Fig 2) in which any single disease entity can be represented in more than 1 location.27Tanno L.K.

During the revision process, we have been in close contact with the WHO Mortality Reference Group because of our concerns that neither anaphylaxis nor other specified allergies could be officially considered underlying causes of death in the death certificate. A systematic review confirmed that countries other than Brazil have faced the same problem with recording anaphylaxis-related mortality methods.15Tanno L.K. Bierrenbach A.L. Simons F.E.R. Cardona V. Thong B.Y. Molinari N. Calderon M.A. et al.Critical view of anaphylaxis epidemiology: open questions and new perspectives.Allergy Asthma Clin Immunol. 2018; 14: 12Crossref PubMed Scopus (24) Google Scholar The result of our deliberations with the Mortality Reference Group is that coding rules have been changed by the addition of allergic conditions, including anaphylaxis, as underlying causes of deaths in official mortality statistics. ICD-11 was released in June 2018 in preparation for presentation to the WHA in May 2019.7Kase Tanno L. Demoly P. Joint Allergy AcademiesAction plan to reach the global availability of adrenaline auto-injectors.J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. 2018; ([Epub ahead of print])Crossref Scopus (7) Google Scholar In June 2018, the WHO designated the University of Montpellier an official World Health Organization Collaborating Centre (WHO CC) for Classification Scientific Support, with Drs Tanno and Demoly as heads. This designation as the only WHO CC addressed to classification of allergic and hypersensitivity conditions is the result of recognition by the WHO of the work done by the ALLERGY in ICD-11 Initiative in providing academic, research, and scientific support to the WHO in the areas of our expertise in the implementation, refinement, and maintenance of the WHO Family of International Classifications (Fig 2).45WHO Web site WHO Collaborating Centres.http://apps.who.int/whocc/Detail.aspx?cc_ref=FRA-133&designation_date1=1/6/2018&designation_date2=18/7/2018&Google Scholar Once ICD-11 has been approved by the WHA, the process of implementation of ICD-11 into each country's health information systems will be formally started, and the use of ICD-11 is scheduled to January 2022. Once implemented, there will likely be 2 immediate consequences of the use of the new classification based on the logic of ICD-11: (1) the number of reported anaphylaxis-related deaths might increase and (2) inclusion of cases in official mortality statistics will provide a global standard for comparability and therefore for decision making and prevention. Because knowledge derived from populations is key information for more realistic decision making, the construction of the new section of ICD-11 addressing allergic and hypersensitivity conditions will facilitate collection of more accurate epidemiologic data. Ultimately, this will result in better health care planning to implement public health measures for prevention and reduction of the morbidity and mortality attributable to these conditions reflecting higher-quality patient management. As a continuation of the achievements in ICD-11, the heads of the WHO CC representing allergy (L.K.T. and P.D.) are working in an evidence-based process, together with allergy academies, experts, and stakeholders, to reach global availability of AAIs.7Kase Tanno L. Demoly P. Joint Allergy AcademiesAction plan to reach the global availability of adrenaline auto-injectors.J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. 2018; ([Epub ahead of print])Crossref Scopus (7) Google Scholar Timely introduction of the new classification of allergic and hypersensitivity disorders in ICD-11 can be considered a much-needed milestone in the history of the allergy specialty. More reliable, accurate, comprehensive, and comparable anaphylaxis epidemiologic data are expected in the forthcoming years. This technical, economic, and political move might provide a more representative global picture of these conditions and is expected to support improvements in the management of allergic disorders worldwide.
