Overview

There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].

OR

[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].

OR

[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].

OR

Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.

OR

If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].

OR

The staging of [malignancy name] is based on the [staging system].

OR

There is no established system for the staging of [malignancy name].

Classification

There is no established system for the classification of dextrocardia but it may be categorized with some of the congenital cardiac anomalies that may be seen in association with it:

  • Dextrocardia with situs solitus: Dextrocardia with normally related great arteries and D-transposition (complete transposition) or L-transposition (congenitally corrected transposition) of the great arteries.
  • Dextrocardia with situs inversus: May present with dextrocardia with inversely related great arteries and D-transposition (congenitally corrected transposition) or L-transposition (“uncorrected” transposition) of the great arteries.
  • Dextrocardia with situs ambiguous (either polysplenia or asplenia): Dextrocardia with any of the above relationships between the ventricles and great vessels.
