Key result
OSICS-8 demonstrated higher inter-coder agreement and was on average 23.5 minutes quicker to apply than ICD-10-AM for classifying sports medicine diagnoses.

OSICS-8 may suit sports injury coding by inexperienced users in research; leaves open prospective validation and clinical outcome impact.
Rae et al. (2005) conducted a cross-sectional in Sports medicine diagnoses (n=10). OSICS-8 vs. ICD-10-AM was evaluated on Level of agreement between coders and time taken to apply each classification system. OSICS-8 demonstrated higher inter-coder agreement and was on average 23.5 minutes quicker to apply than ICD-10-AM for classifying sports medicine diagnoses.
