Y85-Y89: Sequelae of external causes of morbidity and mortality
Y85: Sequelae of transport accidents
Sequelae of transport accidents refer to late effects or complications that occur after being involved in any form of transport accident. These injuries and complications can manifest themselves immediately after the accident or may appear days, months, or even years later. Typical symptoms and conditions associated with these sequelae can include chronic pain, neurological problems, mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or internal injuries that may not have been initially detected. They can affect multiple body systems and are directly related to the type and severity of the accident. Even though the original accident has resolved, these sequelae can have a long-term impact on a person's overall health and quality of life. However, no two individuals will present the same way as it depends on the individual's overall health and the nature of the accident they were involved in.
