Y85-Y89: Sequelae of external causes of morbidity and mortality

Y86: Sequelae of other accidents

Sequelae of other accidents refer to the physical and/or mental health complications that result from experiences of various accidental events. These are not immediate health problems, but instead develop as an aftereffect or secondary result of the accident. The conditions within this group can vary wildly, from mild, temporary discomfort to severe, life-altering disorders. The particular manifestation of the condition depends on the nature of the accident in which the individual was involved. Common symptoms can range from cognitive and emotional issues, such as memory loss or anxiety, to sensory and motor skills problems, including balance issues or impaired movements. Notably, the progression of these conditions is not homogenous, as each individual's body responds differently to trauma. The range of affected systems is vast, covering anything from the neural system in a traumatic brain injury to the musculoskeletal system in an accident involving a fracture or dislocation.
