Greek term

ΚΕΝ Δ24Χ

Greek to English Medical Medical (general)
Σε εξιτήριο δίπλα από το πεδίο "Κωδικός Ιατρικής Πράξης" γράφει KEN Δ24Χ

Από πάνω γράφει κωδικός ICD-10. Είναι ο διεθνής κωδικός;

Αυτό που με ενδιαφέρει είναι πώς θα αποδώσω το Δ24X.

Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων.

Yes, of course ... DRG, that's it. Sorry for the misdirection earlier. I misread the question, or perhaps my brain hadn't woken up properly this Sunday.

There isn't necessarily any direct relationship between DRG and ICD. ICD is more of an epidemiological classification, whereas DRGs were designed to be used mainly for billing. The idea was to oblige doctors to comply with predefined management plans when ordering tests or prescribing treatment, rather than using their own best judgement.
D. Harvatis Aug 16, 2015:
"KEN" can be translated "DRG" (diagnosis-related group). For the "Δ24Χ" part, you could either leave it in Greek if your client can handle Greek characters, you could transcribe it as "D24X" or you could write out the Greek letters ("delta-24-chi").
Dave Bindon Aug 16, 2015:
I'm translating an invoice so space is an issue and, ultimately, the client is only really interested in the final cost and the date, so I left KEN as it is and will explain it in an email.

Your code appears to be Κυτταρίτιδα χωρίς καταστροφικές (συστηματικές) ή σοβαρές συνυπάρχουσες παθήσεις − επιπλοκές.
Spyros Salimpas (asker) Aug 16, 2015:
That's most possible, Dave. How did you handle the "KEN code" ?


Dave Bindon Aug 16, 2015:
There's no obvious relationship between ICD-10 and KEN. I'm currently working on a translation where ICD-10 is O80 and KEN is T27X.

D24 Benign neoplasm of breast

Does that make sense in your context?
Spyros Salimpas (asker) Aug 16, 2015:
Yes, but I have not found anything useful yet.
Philip Lees Aug 16, 2015:
Have you tried ... ... searching the ICD-10 classification for D24?
