The etiology of the diseaseThe etiology of the disease: Identifying the etiology of the disease or the abnormal condition.
This could be another disease, an unhealthy behaviour, a gene, or any other root cause of the disease that the patient has. It is possible to repeat this element for a disease which has multiple causing factors. It is also preferable to code this element with a terminology database when possible. Examples of the inputs could be: alcoholism (for liver cirrhosis), diabetes (for chronic kidney disease), respiratory infection (for fever), or smoking (for lung cancer).
