Clinical codes are derived from ubiquitous health language in this
manner: if the health concept is one word then the first four
characters of the word else if it is two words then the first
four characters of the first word plus the first character of the
second word else the first characters of each word for the case of
three or more words.
Thanks Kuangie that's helpful. I'll fix up `Like '%coroa%' `.
I might check with you later about diabetes.
Hi David,
Sure. Someone else just asked me this same question a week ago.
Inspect the genus diabm^ for a bountiful harvest of species or else
the following.
Like 'diabm%' => [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc2
Like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' => [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]@backg
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@prolifer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@diabm [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc2
But if you are shooting for distinction....
Add Like 'diabf%' => diabf (diabetic foot)
Add Like 'nld%' => nld (necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum)
....and of course you can look up patients who are on diabetic drugs
but then you pick up polycystic ovaries :-(
Cheers

Docle design principle No. 3
Clinical codes grow with evolving order with both speciation and
large scale structures in a Linnean manner.
