Overview=

The template of crowdiagnosis project is shown in this section and it can be copied for creating the causes page by going into the edit box.

  • The overview section should include the disease name in the first sentence.
  • The goal is to summarize the page in several sentences, and the section can be the same as the causes segment on the overview page.
  • Confirm that the overview statement is in a text format and does not contain bullet points.
  • Confirm that periods, commas and spaces are appropriately placed.
  • Confirm that no text is bolded or italicized randomly in between the text.
  • Make sure to check for spellings and grammatical errors thoroughly.
  • Confirm that there are no floating periods and comas.
  • Confirm that periods and comas are present before the start of references instead at the end to avoid floating periods and comas.
  • Confirm that all the internal links work and there are no black links in between texts.
  • Confirm that no links are created to same page.
  • Make sure to create maximum internal links and for complete words, e.g,
    • Ventricular tachycardia – [[Ventricular]] [[tachycardia]] – not recommended
    • Ventricular tachycardia- [[Ventricular tachycardia]] – recommended
  • To see an example, click here.

Preferred Template Statements

IF there are life-threatening causes of the disease, list those first, followed by common causes, then less common causes.

  • Life-threatening causes of [symptom/manifestation] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
  • [Cause] is a life-threatening cause of [disease].

IF there are no life-threatening causes of the disease, begin with common causes. If no distinctions can be made between common and less-common causes, list all causes together.

  • On the overview page, use a full sentence:
    • Disease name] may be caused by [cause1], [cause2], or [cause3].
    • Common causes of [disease] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
    • The most common cause of [disease name] is [cause 1]. Less common causes of [disease name] include [cause 2], [cause 3], and [cause 4].
  • On the Causes microchapter, use bullet points:
    • [Disease name] may be caused by:
      • [cause1]
      • [cause2]
      • [cause3]

IF the disease is caused by one specific pathogen:

  • [Disease name] is caused by an infection with [pathogen name].
  • [Pathogen name] infection is caused by [pathogen name].

IF the disease arises from a genetic mutation:

  • [Disease name] is caused by a mutation in the [gene name] gene.

IF genetics play an unspecified role in the development of the disease:

IF the cause of the disease is unknown:

  • The cause of [disease name] has not been identified. To review risk factors for the development of [disease name], click here.

Life-threatening causes

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

  • 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 is 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.

Common causes

  • 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.

Less common causes

  • This can be done in a list form where causes are arranged in alphabetical order.

Causes by organ system

  • 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.
