Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

This section is to outline the most common causes of the disease or condition you are describing.
This can be done in a list form where causes are arranged in alphabetical order.

To obtain the coding for the table seen below, click here. You need to copy the table content from the edit box, and paste it into the edit box.
You can then list the causes by organ system. List the causes, separated by a comma under the appropriate category where it says "No underlying causes". Erase "No underlying causes" if you are listing causes in that category.
For an example of the causes by organ system table in a causes microchapter, click here.
