Rapid advances in the clinical neurosciences in the last decade have led to considerable amplification of our ability to classify neurological diseases. For these classifications to be widely used, they must be compatible with the 'International Statistical Classification of Diseases and related health problems' (ICD) of the World Health Organization (WHO), which system is used throughout the world for classification of diseases and reasons of death. The 'Ninth' revision of the ICD (ICD-9), published in 1976, is currently in use in a number of Member States of the World Health Organization, including the United States. However, it is expected that by the end of this decade virtually all Member States will have introduced the 10th Revision of the ICD (ICD-10), published in 1992. An 'Application of ICD-10 to neurology' (ICD-10 NA) has been developed, with a specific coding system for virtually every neurological disease currently recognized. This article describes the structure and background of this work, that is offered as a definitive international classification of neurological disease to be used by clinical and research organizations, governmental and nongovernmental bodies, and for epidemiological and research purposes. It is concordant with the new and proposed classifications of subspecialty neurological organizations.
过去十年间临床神经科学的飞速发展极大地增强了我们对神经疾病进行分类的能力。要使这些分类得到广泛应用，它们必须与世界卫生组织（WHO）的《国际疾病及相关健康问题统计分类》（ICD）兼容，该系统在全球用于疾病分类和死因统计。ICD的第九版（ICD - 9）于1976年发布，目前在包括美国在内的一些世界卫生组织成员国中使用。然而，预计到本十年末，几乎所有成员国都将采用1992年发布的ICD第十版（ICD - 10）。现已制定了《ICD - 10在神经病学中的应用》（ICD - 10 NA），为目前公认的几乎每种神经疾病都提供了特定的编码系统。本文介绍了这项工作的结构和背景，它被视为神经疾病的权威性国际分类，供临床和研究机构、政府和非政府组织使用，并用于流行病学和研究目的。它与神经专科组织的新分类和拟议分类相一致。
