Original publication title: A coding scheme for veterinary clinical signs.
Plain-English summary
Veterinary researchers have created a new way to organize and code information about clinical signs in animals. This new classification system aims to make it easier to find and use information about symptoms when teaching or conducting research. By improving how we categorize clinical signs, it could help veterinarians better understand and address health issues in pets. This new coding scheme is expected to enhance the overall quality of veterinary care.
Abstract
An emphasis on diagnostic coding in present methods for classification of veterinary clinical data limits retrieval of information on clinical signs for teaching a research. A classification scheme has been developed which allows coding of information based on clinical signs.
