Documentation of menopause-related international classification of diseases codes in the electronic health record in midlife women with menopause symptoms
Menopause-related ICD-10 diagnosis codes were under-documented in women with significant menopause symptom burden. Those with a code were more likely to report menopause treatment. These findings highlight a critical gap between symptom burden and diagnosis coding in the EHR, underscoring the need to improve identification and management of menopause symptoms.
