Usage notes
Also written CDI or "clean/dry/intact". If any part does not apply, the note should describe the problem, such as "small amount of serous drainage, edges peeling". The letters CDI also mean Clostridioides difficile infection and clinical documentation improvement, so the slashes help readers tell them apart.
