While it was not apparent that this has led to omission of any conditions, it should be borne in mind that SNIPS is designed for classification of surgical presentations in primary care settings and is not a comprehensive surgical classification in its own right.
Particularly, we were not able to separate breech delivery from other anomalies of fetal presentation, which resulted in classification of breech presentation as strong indication for caesarean section.
Classification of diabetes at presentation is often difficult in adults, especially in younger adults (6).
(6) Degree of spread was classified as localized, regional distant and unknown and was based on the CCR classification of stage at first presentation.
As we have demonstrated previously (1, 4, 8), the "Aβ" classification of patients shortly after presentation with the index DKA is highly accurate in predicting clinical behavior (especially insulin dependence), β-cell functional reserve, and glycemic control.
The global expansion of industrial and commercial activity required more sophisticated decision-making processes, which in turn required more sophistication in the selection, classification, and presentation of information, increasingly with the aid of computers.
8 17 Adjudication and classification of communicable and non-communicable presentations of HD in this cohort have been previously described.
