For morbidity applications the GDR introduced ICD-9 in 1979. The FRG started in 1986 in hospitals with the three character version and changed to the four character version in 1994.

ICD-8

ICD-8 was used in the FRG (ICD-8 ("West")) and the GDR (ICD-8 ("Ost")) from 1968 to 1978 for mortality statistics. In the GDR it was also used for morbidity purposes during that period.

The three character version of ICD-8 in German is available on our web server. Furthermore, the complete Tabular List is available, however, as a scan - that means as an image - and not as files that can be used e.g. in word processors. To get the meaning of a code it is usually sufficient to consult the Tabular List. The files can be accessed from our Download Center. They are stored in PDF. The files are quite large.
