Which classification in ICD-9-CM includes external causes of injury and poisoning?

The correct answer is: E codes

In ICD-9-CM, external causes of injury and poisoning are classified under the E codes. These codes provide information on the circumstances surrounding an injury, such as where and how it occurred. This classification helps healthcare providers and researchers track patterns of injuries and develop strategies for prevention. The other options listed are not specifically designated for external causes of injury and poisoning in ICD-9-CM.
