Hi,

Duration, associated signs and symptoms and modifying factors.

 

[Squiabro]

I count as four: Comorbids of DM, kidney disease, blind, BKA and morbid obese.
HPI level is extended.

These fall under the PFSH

Hello Squiabro,

What you have listed would not fall under the HPI elements. The BKA would be given credit under the PFSH because it is a past history of an operation.
