Dictionary of Evidence-based Medicine 87 Internot/onol Classification of Diseases The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a system of disease classification which is regularly updated by the World Health Organization. The classification has its roots in the standard nomenclature for causes of death first proposed by W Farr (1807-83). The latest revision is the 10th (ICD-10), published by the WHO in 1992. The 21 disease categories are shown in Table 3 below. Table 3 Disease categories in ICD-10 I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XX XXI Certain infections and parasitic diseases Neoplasms Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases Mental and behavioural diseases Diseases of the nervous system Diseases of the eye and adnexa Diseases of the ear and mastoid process Diseases of the circulatory system Diseases of the respiratory system Diseases of the digestive system Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue Diseases of the genitourinary system Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not classified elsewhere Injury, poisoning and certain consequences of external causes External causes of morbidity and mortality Factors influencing health and contact with health services (World Health Organization (1992) ICD-10 - International stotist/'co/ classification of diseases and related health problems, I Oth revision.

J Jarman index The Jarman index or the Jarman underprivileged area score (UPA(8)) was developed to serve as a measure of UK general practitioners' workload. It has also been used as a proxy measure for deprivation in medical general practice research although such use has been criticized (Jarman B (1983) Identification of underprivileged areas. BMJ. 286:1705-9. Jarman B, Townsend P, Carstairs V (1991) Deprivation indices. BMJ. 303: 523. Hippisley- Cox J et al. (1997) Effect of deprivation on general practitioners' referral rates. BMJ. 315: 1465-7). Judgement A judgement is an explicit indication of a person's (judge's) critical appraisal of available evidence. Judgement analysis Judgement analysis refers to the methodologies associated with the modelling and statistical analysis of how human judgements are made. Multiple regression analysis forms the basis of much of the analysis (Cooksey RW (1996) Judgment analysis: theory, methods and applications. Academic Press, San Diego).
