Lint: acute-abdominal-pain

acute-abdominal-pain
Adjectival Hyphens
error

"In the pre-CT era, patients with an acute abdomen were often sent for urgent surgery. Contemporaneously, with the virtually ubiquitous availability of CT, some of these patients will not be operated on at all. Conversely, some patients who do not meet the traditional criteria for an "acute abdomen" will be diagnosed on imaging with conditions, such as acute appendicitis, and be sent for surgery."

Line 166:11 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-CT'.
