Abstract

Purpose - to draw the attention of physicians to the structure of the International Classification of Diseases, the 11th Revision (ICD-11) for use in clinical practice using the example of nosological forms of tonsillitis.

The question-and-answer format provides up-to-date information on the main provisions of ICD-11, which was implemented worldwide from 01.01.2022. The attention of doctors is focused on the nosological approach in its structure. Using the example of acute and recurrent tonsillitis, it is shown how to use the new statistical classification of diseases correctly, and answers are given to the questions most often asked by practitioners when making a diagnosis according to this classification.

Conclusions. ICD-11, in addition to statistical needs, adds clinical needs and more, moving the ICD from a simple statistical database to a clinical classification for statistical use. Based on the most up-to-date clinical and epidemiological data and the results of double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trials, ICD-11 is synchronized with current clinical guidelines to help clinicians make informed decisions.
