Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Surgery Protocol | | German term or phrase: KO N | This is from the diagnosis field.
Code Bezeichnung Lokalisation H/N Kennzeichen OP-Ursache KO
The field contains letter N.
KO
N
My first guess was Körperöberfläche, but considering that there is no number listed, I discounted it. Now I am inclined to think that this might be Komplikation Normal, but I am not sure. Has anyone come across these abbreviations in a similar context? |

| | English translation:Complications: no ( Komplikationen: Nein) | Explanation:
It's an educated guess, but I don't think you'd have "Normal" under Complications, "Nein" is more likely, although it usually says "Keine"; since it's a table, perhaps they choose the simple Ja/Nein. It does fit the context since it is listed after OP-Ursache ( reason for surgery).
It's definitely not Koerperoberflaeche ( "ober" ohne Umlaut!, btw), though.

Asker: Thank you, lirka! The more I was thinking about this, the more I was coming to the conclusion that Normal is not correct, because a complication would not be considered normal. My next guess was Nein, and you confirmed it. Thanks a lot!
