Something between "Associated with" and "Due to"

Bruce Goldberg

Jim Case

A number of diseases exist in which the literature describes the potential for there to exist a recognised set of associated "systemic manifestations". In an attempt to model these systemic manifestations there has been a requirement to identify a modelling pattern which lies somewhere between the concepts of "Co-occurrent" and "Due to".

• Proposal that the co-occurrent pattern will be used only for two or more associated conditions that have a common predisposition including syndromes and their manifestations

• Discussion surrounding the representation of certain arthritic conditions that represent multisystem disorders as both a kind of joint inflammation and a systemic disorder

  Jim Case to discuss with Jeremy Rogers (Unlicensed) regarding the clinical utility of separate statements in the U.K.
