Maybe. Almost everyone follows the same standard (some version of ICD, https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10.htm) of coding.

Maybe. Almost everyone follows the same standard (some version of ICD, https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10.htm) of coding. If it's much better outside the US I'd be surprised, though. The standard is a mess of strange, super-specific things (e.g. ICD10 code W56.52XA is "struck by other fish, initial encounter") that aren't useful for any purpose, and in practice is used mainly for billing (insurance or otherwise).
