Implementation Details

From CidController.java:49-53: 
@DeleteMapping("/{code}")
public ResponseEntity<Void> deleteOne(@PathVariable String code) {
    cidService.deleteOne(code);
    return ResponseEntity.noContent().build();
}
Important Considerations:
  • This operation is permanent and cannot be undone
  • Deleting a CID code may affect existing diagnoses that reference it
  • Consider the impact on related records before deletion
  • This should be restricted to administrator users only

​
Use Cases

  • Remove outdated or deprecated CID codes
  • Clean up incorrectly imported codes
  • Database maintenance operations
  • Testing and development cleanup
To remove all CID codes at once, use DELETE /cid (without a code parameter).
Before deleting a CID code, verify that no active diagnoses are using it to prevent referential integrity issues.
