Oth war operations occurring after, milt, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from military operations that occurred after a declared cessation of hostilities. It specifically applies to individuals who were military personnel at the time of the incident. The sequela could be physical or psychological, directly attributable to the post-conflict operational environment.

Use this code when documenting a current health problem in a former or active military member that is a direct consequence of an injury or exposure sustained during post-hostility military operations. This includes incidents like unexploded ordnance encounters, peacekeeping mission injuries, or other hazards encountered after formal combat has ended. It is appropriate for conditions that manifest or persist long after the initial event.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., PTSD, chronic pain, amputation).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a specific post-hostility military incident.
• This code is for military personnel only; use other Y36 codes for civilians.
