About the X71–X83 Code Range
These categories describe intentional self-harm by the method involved, including drowning, firearms, heat, sharp or blunt objects, jumps, and vehicle crashes.
X71 separates drowning by location or circumstance. Firearm categories distinguish handguns, larger firearms, and other or unspecified guns; some subdivide further by firearm type. Heat-related categories separate smoke and flames from hot vapors, fluids, and objects. Other categories distinguish sharp from blunt objects, jumping from a high place from moving objects, and vehicle crashes by what the vehicle strikes. X83 identifies other specified means, including aircraft crashes, electrocution, and exposure to extreme cold.
Each category has a seventh character for initial encounter (A), subsequent encounter (D), or sequela (S).
