WHAT IS THE ICD-9 CODE FOR UARS?!

I have seen ICD-9 327.20 used for UARS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aedyn (talk • contribs) 13:51, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't an ICD-9 code for UARS because this syndrome is not generally accepted as a medical condition. (That is, patients who are told they have UARS probably have some other disease, not that they're perfectly healthy.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a question of its existance?

I know I've read several times that there is debate as to the existence of UARS, but I've seen no evidence of this debate. I searched PubMed for "UARS" and, while I'm too sleepy to look through all 122 results, I found nothing in the first 60 that seeks to dispute the existence of the syndrome. So it would seem that a vast majority of people who've looked into the subject are in agreement that it does indeed exist. I suppose I could slap a "citation needed" onto it, but I'd be no happier about the statement even if someone linked it to some news article somewhere that mentions there being questions about its existence. I know people say there are questions about its existence. What I don't know is who is questioning its existence. It doesn't seem to be sleep researchers. -- Philip Jacob Smith (talk) 08:53, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
