hypertension stages
Subject: hypertension stages

Hi,


 


Anyone know if stages of hypertension are now to be noted with Arabic numerals?  I have always been taught that they are to be in Roman numeral form.  If you have the answer to this, please send me the reference as well, as I haven't been able to find this in any of my medical term books/references.  Even my Stedman's Cardiology book doesn't have information on this as far as I've been able to find.  Thanks so much for any help!

only for cancer the majority of the time. There are some exceptions, but the majority of the time it is roman numerals. For example, kidney disease is arabic, fractures are arabic. If it is not associated with cancer then it is more than likely arabic. You can always look it up and tell which is which, which is BOS2 suggests.

Subject: I have sticky notes everywhere with different stages, grades, etc. sm

I think I used to think most stages were roman numerals and most grades were arabic but there are way too many exceptions so I try to figure out which one it is for each specific instance and then write it on my growing list.  BOS says types are arabic, roman numerals, or capital letters depending on type referred to. I WISH there was a website with all of the different stages, grades, types, etc. listed.  Does anyone know of such a thing??

if you have it, pages 46-47.   I've had accounts that didn't want departments, etc. capitalized no matter how they were used, all lower case, so definitely account preference as people said below.  I  prefer to capitalize when referred to as an entity, such as you said or as in BOS, patient was referred to Anesthesia for evaluation... I really dislike typing, the patient was seen by nutrition or wound care or speech, etc. but if verbatim and that's the way they want it, that's what the account gets.
