Overview

Life-Threatening Causes

• Life threatening causes do not include chronic conditions.
• Make sure to include the following definition underneath the subheading of every life threatening causes section: 
    Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
• The list of life threatening causes must be arranged in alphabetical order.
• If the page's disease is itself life-threatening, do not add causes in the life-threatening causes section. 

• Instead, write the following sentence under the subheading: 
    Disease name is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes.
    Life-threatening conditions may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
