🔸 Other U codes may be assigned as new diseases, syndromes, or global health threats are identified.
🔸 Always follow official coding guidance for these rapidly updated codes.

📊 National & International Use
🔸 Some U codes are reserved for research, data collection, or regional use and may not be applicable in all coding scenarios.
