Site specific - Head and neck

ICD-10 CODES

Note:

• please refer to Appendix A and B for site specific registerable ICD codes for head and neck cancer patients

Head and Neck cancer details can all be collected within either the Core section of COSD v10.0 or within COSD Pathology v5.0 data sets.

Important notice

As none of the site-specific data items previously in this section were used for either cancer registration or for any analytical work currently being conducted by NDRS or for any of our partner organisations, it was recommended that these should be removed from COSD to help reduce the burden on front line staff.

Therefore, the following data item has been retired from v10:

• NH9300 – Surgical Access Type
• HN9310 – Other Surgical Access Type
• HN9060 – Cancer Dental Assessment Date
• HN9050 – Care Contact Date (Dietitian Initial)
• HN9200 – Care Contact Date (SLT Initial)
• HN9000 – Clinical Status Assessment Date (Cancer)
• HN9010 – Primary Tumour Status
• HN9020 – Nodal Status
• HN9030 – Metastatic Status
• HN9080 – Speech & Language Assessment Date
