Kitchen of single-family (private) house as place

This code specifies that an injury or adverse event occurred within the kitchen area of a private, standalone residence. It helps to pinpoint the exact location within a home where an external cause of morbidity or mortality took place.

This code is used when documenting injuries such as burns from cooking, falls on kitchen floors, cuts from kitchen utensils, or poisoning from household products stored in the kitchen. It applies to incidents occurring in the kitchen of a detached or semi-detached single-family home.

• Always assign this code as a secondary code, following the primary code for the external cause of the injury.
• Ensure the medical record clearly specifies "kitchen" and "single-family house" to support this granular location code.
• Distinguish from kitchens in apartments, dormitories, or other multi-unit dwellings, which have different Y92 codes.
