Y87: Sequelae of intentional self-harm, assault and events of undetermined intent
Y87.2: Sequelae of events of undetermined intent
Sequelae of events of undetermined intent refer to the long-term effects or complications that occur as a result of incidents where the initial intention or cause is unclear or vague. These events could be accidents, injuries, or other adverse incidents whose intention – whether they were deliberate or accidental – is not established. The long-term impacts can vary in nature and severity, affecting different regions of the body – from physical problems like mobility issues, or chronic pain to psychological problems like trauma or anxiety. The progression of the condition would depend on the nature and severity of the initial incident, the body part affected, and individual response to treatment. It's essential to understand that these conditions are not diseases themselves, but rather the consequence of a potentially harmful event. Therefore, symptoms and prognosis would widely vary from person to person.
