Y07.2: By acquaintance or friend
The classification "By Acquaintance or Friend" (ICD-10 Y07.2) is not a medical condition in and of itself, but a classification identifier for instances where an individual has sustained an injury or harm caused by someone they know such as a friend or acquaintance. This code does not specify the type or nature of the injury, but indicates the relationship of the assailant to the victim. This could extend to various types of physical or mental trauma, but the specific details of the harm caused would be articulated in specific additional health codes. The damage inflicted could range from mild to severe, and the repercussions could be short-term or long-lasting, directed towards physical or mental health. The appropriate medical, psychiatric or therapeutic care would be determined by the specifics of the inflicted injuries.
