Dear All,

The Diagnosis - "Respiratory Distress Syndrome" and/or " Surfactant Deficiency Lung Disease" , which is the most preferred term to use while writing the Diagnosis column?

Regards,

Mk

We use ICD for diagnos coding. Use P22.0 for "RDS", which refers to "Respiratory distress syndrome" according to the ICD-manual.
