J Child Psychol Psychiatry. 1991 Sep;32(6):909-20. doi: 10.1111/j.1469-7610.1991.tb01918.x.

Abstract

ICD-9 and ICD-10 categories were compared in a consecutive cohort of patients attending a public child and adolescent psychiatric service. There were some remarkable changes in the frequency of comparable diagnoses that reflect both systematic effects due to the changed format of the ICD-10 as well as certain changes specific to the service.
