Orchard Sports Injury and Illness Classification System (OSIICS) Version 15.

BACKGROUND: Sports medicine (injury and illnesses) requires distinct coding systems because the International Classification of Diseases is insufficient for sports medicine coding. The Orchard Sports Injury and Illness Classification System (OSIICS) is one of two sports medicine coding systems recommended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Regular updates of coding systems are required.

METHODS: For Version 15, updates for mental health conditions in athletes, sports cardiology, concussion sub-types, infectious diseases, and skin and eye conditions were considered particularly important.

RESULTS: Recommended codes were added from a recent IOC consensus statement on mental health conditions in athletes. Two landmark sports cardiology papers were used to update a more comprehensive list of sports cardiology codes. Rugby union protocols on head injury assessment were used to create additional concussion codes.

CONCLUSION: The latest iteration for use in Sports Medicine (OSIICS Version 15) will be translated into multiple new languages during 2024 to facilitate international accessibility. The large number of recently published sport-specific and discipline-specific consensus statements on athlete surveillance warrant regular updating of OSIICS.
