    Abstract: The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) has been used in various Asia-Pacific countries for more than 20 years. Although ICD-10 is a powerful tool, clinical coding processes are complex; therefore, many developing countries have not been able to implement ICD-10-based health statistics (WHO-FIC APN, 2007). Objective: This study aimed to simplify ICD-10 clinical coding processes, to modify index terms to facilitate computer searching and to provide a simplified version of ICD-10 for use in developing countries. Method: The World Health Organization Family of International Classifications Asia-Pacific Network (APN) developed a simplified version of the ICD-10 and conducted field testing in Cambodia during February and March 2016. Ten hospitals were selected to participate. Each hospital sent a team to join a training workshop before using the ICD-10 simplified version to code 100 cases. All hospitals subsequently sent their coded records to the researchers. Results: Overall, there were 1038 coded records with a total of 1099 ICD clinical codes assigned. The average accuracy rate was calculated as 80.71% (66.67–93.41%). Three types of clinical coding errors were found. These related to errors relating to the coder (14.56%), those resulting from the physician documentation (1.27%) and those considered system errors (3.46%). Discussion: The field trial results demonstrated that the APN ICD-10 simplified version is feasible for implementation as an effective tool to implement ICD-10 clinical coding for hospitals. Conclusion: Developing countries may consider adopting the APN ICD-10 simplified version for ICD-10 code assignment in hospitals and health care centres. The simplified version can be viewed as an introductory tool which leads to the implementation of the full ICD-10 and may support subsequent ICD-11 adoption.

    Epidemiology of post-suboccipital craniotomy headache: A multicentre retrospective study

    Abstract: The detailed epidemiology and mechanism of post-craniotomy headaches are not well understood. This study aimed to establish the actual clinical incidence and causes of post-craniotomy headaches. Suboccipital craniotomy surgeries performed in six institutions within the five-year study period were included. This study included 311 patients (138 males, 173 female; mean age, 59.3 years old). A total of 145 patients (49%) experienced post-craniotomy headaches. Microvascular decompression surgery, craniectomy and facial spasms were significant risk factors for post-craniotomy headaches. In most cases, the post-craniotomy headaches disappeared within one month; however, some patients suffered from long-term headaches. The craniotomy site and the methods of dura and skull closures should be individually determined for each patient. However, to prevent post-craniotomy headaches, craniotomy, instead of craniectomy, may be considered.

    Extraction of mediastinal teratoma contents for complete thoracoscopic resection

    Abstract: Video-assisted thoracic surgery is widely applied for resection of mediastinal tumors. The mediastinal mature teratoma, however, is usually operated on via an open approach because it is generally large, making it difficult to dissect under a thoracoscopic view and remove it from the thoracic cavity. We attempted to extract intracystic material during video-assisted thoracic surgery to facilitate dissection and removal of the tumor from the thoracic cavity. Methods From January 1998 to April 2013, 13 patients (9 women, 4 men; mean age 33 years, range 17–54 years) with mediastinal mature teratomas were operated on via video-assisted thoracic surgery. Intracystic contents of the tumor were aspirated before dissection or after the teratoma was dissected and placed in the retrieval pouch. Results None of the patients required conversion to an open procedure. Operating time was 95–184 min (mean 132 min). Blood loss during the operation amounted to 10–300 mL (mean 78 mL). The tumor size ranged from 5 to 12 cm (mean 8 cm). In all cases, the tumors were confirmed pathologically to be mature cystic teratomas with no malignant components. During and after follow-up, all patients continue to do well without recurrence. Conclusion Extraction of intracystic contents enabled thoracoscopic resection of large mature mediastinal teratomas.
