Y92.16School dormitory as the place of occurrence of the external cause

It belongs to category Y92 (place of occurrence of the external cause), block Y90-Y99 (Supplementary factors related to causes of morbidity classified elsewhere) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Y92.1 (Institutional (nonprivate) residence as the place of occurrence of the external cause), Y92.16 is specifically for school dormitory as the place of occurrence of the external cause.
