a

ICD-11 has additional codes for designating severity: XS25 for severe and XS0T for moderate.

b

ICD-10 rules default to B22.2 for children living with HIV infection with wasting, while these conditions are recorded separately in ICD-11, except when HIV infection wasting syndrome is the appropriate diagnosis in which case 1C62.3 can be used.
