Although most reasons mentioned above could be coded in ICD-10 codes, it is still certain that many reasons will never be defined in terms of ICD-10 (STI, physicians and patients decision), so to avoid a mixture of two different coding systems it is advised to go with the above list and build upon that for now. This coding list is identical to MED_RS used for non-ART medication recorded in tblMED
