There are up to 12 diagnosis E codes (variables called DGNS_E_1_CD–DGNS_E_12_CD), which are used to identify external causes of injury, poisoning, or other adverse events.

ICD-10 diagnosis codes were used starting October 2015. The diagnosis version code for these 12 E code diagnoses appears in variables DGNS_E_VRSN_CD_1–DGNS_E_VRSN_CD_12, which indicates whether this diagnosis code is ICD-9 or ICD-10.

This field was new in 2009.
