T90-T98: Sequelae of injuries, of poisoning and of other consequences of external causes

Sequelae of injuries, of poisoning, and of other consequences of external causes refers to a group of conditions that are the long-term effects or complications resulting from injuries, poisonings, or other harmful events. These effects could arise from various incidents such as accidents, exposure to harmful substances, or violent events. The sequelae can manifest in multiple ways and can affect any part of the body, depending on the original injury or exposure. Symptoms can range widely from physical issues like chronic pain, mobility problems, or disfigurement to cognitive or psychological disturbances such as memory loss, mood changes, or anxiety. The progression of these conditions also depends on the severity of the initial injury, the affected body part, and overall health of the individual. These residual conditions often require long-term care and management to live with as comfortably as possible.
