Through the analysis of written sources such as textbooks, reports or classifications, combined with interviews and observations obtained from medical coding professionals, this article not only revisits the underlying stakes in the successive publications of the International Classification of Diseases in terms of code selection, but also explores the daily professional life of those who have to select codes for each and every hospitalized patient.
