The main diagnoses in patients with Campylobacter enteritis were pneumonia (patient no. 1), postoperative due to thymectomy (patient no. 2) and vascular graft (patient no. 3), as well as epileptical attack (patient no. 4).
The main diagnoses in the patients who died on the wards were: 31 residual encephalopathy (post-anoxic, post-traumatic, others), five severe chronic respiratory failure, three spinal cord injury, two neuromuscular disease.
The main diagnoses in hospital admissions were hernias (37%), other abdominal surgery (11%), fractures (23%), other orthopedic conditions (7%), hydrocele (12%), circulatory conditions (4%), dermatological conditions (2%) and ophthalmologic conditions (1%).
For students who encounter only a very limited number of specific main diagnoses in one subspecialty, teaching could focus also on secondary diagnoses of patients to broaden the spectrum of diseases encountered and to enhance clinical reasoning skills in students [ 26].
The five most common main diagnoses in the SMR01 records that matched on dates with SSCA but not diagnoses codes, were R298 (other and unspecified symptoms and signs involving the nervous and musculoskeletal system), R55 (syncope and collapse), G819 (unspecified hemiplegia), R51 (headache), and I679 (unspecified cerebrovascular disease).
The main diagnoses in patients with single organ ARF dying in hospital after ICU discharge were malignancies (12 patients), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (2 patients) and various reasons (6 patients: chronic renal failure/renal transplantation, alcoholic liver cirrhosis, small bowel infarction, ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm, subarachnoid haemorrhage and peritonitis).
A fracture of the left humerus was the main diagnose in one pig, but a fluid accumulation was also seen in both elbows of that pig.
As a result the main diagnoses were in most cases depression (F32) or stress/exhaustion (F43), but in a few cases the main diagnosis was a physical disorder in terms of cervical disc disorder (M50).
Low values depend on the main diagnoses established in patients; if the FEV1 value decreases, the FEV1/FVC index becomes smaller.
In order to test whether patients with other alcohol-related main diagnoses than those in F10 biased our HR, we counted the main diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease (ICD code K70) and toxic effect of alcohol (ICD-10, code T51) in the exposed and non-exposed groups.
Only main diagnoses were included in the study.
