Features: Volume III of "International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems" is the alphabetical index [abbreviated as Index] of Volume [abbreviated as Volume] in (Hanyu Pinyin). When a diagnostic term is reported along with other conditions, or in special circumstances (e.g., certain conditions occurring concurrently with pregnancy), although this index can reflect the provisions of the Volume in the Index according to the annotations specifying the change of diagnostic terms in the Volume, it cannot fully express such variations in the index terms. Therefore, the Volume should be regarded as the primary tool for coding, while the alphabetical index is an indispensable auxiliary part of the Volume. Because it contains a large number of diagnostic terms not appearing in the Volume, both volumes should be used together.
