ESPE Classification of Paediatric Endocrine Diagnoses

Beschreibung

This classification of diagnoses is an important tool for achieving optimal communication between paediatric endocrinologists. In this publication, the first of its kind in this field, diagnoses made by paediatric endocrinologists are subdivided into 14 groups and listed according to a logical system from the clinician's point of view. In addition to the new ESPE classification codes, cross-references to the ICD-10 and OMIM classifications are also provided. Additional comments in the form of footnotes are given for many diagnoses, particularly on their clinical and laboratory presentation (phenotype). Paediatric endocrinologists from all over the world will benefit from this classification which has been compiled to code the diagnoses of their patients in a logical and uniform way. Using these codes, they will be able to store their information in easily accessible electronic databases. Moreover, this book serves as a quick and efficient tool for differential diagnosis.
