Lung cancer and other lung and respiratory diseases
Lung cancer is classified with cancers, not with respiratory diseases, in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-AM), which is the main coding system used for health data in NSW.
Consequently lung cancer (ICD-10-AM: C33-C34) and other cancers of respiratory and intrathoracic organs (ICD-10-AM: C30-C39) are not included in this indicator. Infectious and parasitic diseases with respiratory manifestation (for example, tuberculosis, whooping cough and other diseases which can be found in ICD-10-AM: A00-B99) are not included either.
