ICD Code F03-

ICD code F03- is unspecified dementia, used when a patient has dementia but the specific type or cause has not been identified.

1. Evidence of significant cognitive decline from a previous level of performance in one or more cognitive domains (such as complex attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor, or social cognition).

2. Cognitive deficits interfere with independence in everyday activities (requiring assistance with complex instrumental activities of daily living).

3. Cognitive deficits do not occur exclusively in the context of delirium.

4. Cognitive deficits are not better explained by another mental disorder (e.g., major depressive disorder, schizophrenia).

5. Onset is insidious and progression is gradual.

6. No specific underlying etiology has been identified after appropriate evaluation.

7. Symptoms may include memory loss, disorientation, language difficulties, impaired judgment, and changes in personality or behavior.
