In 2019, the World Health Assembly approved the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11), which included a traditional medicine chapter. This means that traditional medicine (TM) is incorporated into the mainstream medicine of the world. For TM to contribute to human health, the role of ICD-11, chapter 26 (ICD-11-26), is important. Since the ICD-11-26 is "a union set of harmonized traditional medicine conditions of the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean classifications," it is advisable to supplement the essential patterns while maintaining the already adopted patterns. The ICD-11-26 was originated from the World Health Organization International Standard Terminologies on Traditional Medicine in the Western Pacific Region (WHO-IST), and the WHO-IST is the world's most authoritative TM standard terminology system with an emphasis on traditional and conventional expression. In addition, it includes patterns that are widely used in TM clinical practice and have representative prescriptions at the same time. Therefore, future revisions of ICD-11-26 should make WHO-IST the main reference. Based on this spirit, this proposed revision is a modification of ICD-11-26's structure, order, and expression (English translation) with more essential patterns.
2019 年，世界卫生大会批准了《国际疾病分类》第 11 版（ICD-11），其中包括一个传统医学章节。这意味着传统医学（TM）已被纳入世界主流医学。为了使传统医学对人类健康做出贡献，ICD-11 第 26 章（ICD-11-26）的作用非常重要。由于 ICD-11-26 是“一套协调一致的中医、日本和韩国分类的传统医学条件”，因此，在保留已采用的模式的同时，补充基本模式是明智的。ICD-11-26 源自世界卫生组织西太平洋地区传统医学国际标准术语（WHO-IST），而 WHO-IST 是世界上最权威的 TM 标准术语系统，强调传统和常规表达。此外，它还包括在 TM 临床实践中广泛使用且具有代表性处方的模式。因此，未来 ICD-11-26 的修订应将 WHO-IST 作为主要参考。基于这一精神，本次提出的修订是对 ICD-11-26 的结构、顺序和表达（英文翻译）进行更基本模式的修改。
