ICD-11 Will Change Coding of Adult Malnutrition

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released information on the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11), which will replace ICD-10 coding in clinical practice settings in 2027.

The WHO has added the general category 5B72 Undernutrition in adults to the ICD-11 coding. This general 5B72 category includes the following sub-codes:

  • 5B72.0 Undernutrition in adults related to disease with moderate to severe inflammation
  • 5B72.1 Undernutrition in adults related to disease with non-discernible inflammation
  • 5B72.2 Undernutrition in adults related to starvation

These changes to the coding of adult malnutrition will impact reimbursement and research. ASPEN is committed to supporting the clinical nutrition community in understanding and effectively implementing these changes. Education and training materials will be released soon.
