Y89: Sequelae of other external causes
Y89.1: Sequelae of war operations
Sequelae of war operations refer to the after-effects or consequences one might experience as a result of injuries sustained during a war operation. These can be physical or psychological in nature, or often a combination of both. Physical injuries can range from simple cuts and bruises to more severe cases like loss of limbs, severe burns or internal damages to organs. Psychological effects might include a variety of mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or anxiety. These sequelae can surface immediately after the incident or they may not become apparent until years later. The level of impairment from these sequelae can vary greatly from person to person, affecting their daily life and overall well-being.
