2月12日，湖北省衛(wèi)健委官網(wǎng)發(fā)布的最新疫情情況，新增了新冠肺炎“臨床診斷病例”的具體數(shù)字。

Hubei province reported 14,840 new cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia on Wednesday, compared to 1,638 new cases reported on Tuesday, according to the province’s health commission on Thursday morning.
湖北省衛(wèi)健委2月13日早晨發(fā)布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2月12日，該省新增新冠肺炎病例14840例，而2月11日，湖北省的新增病例為1638例。

通報(bào)顯示，湖北省新增新冠肺炎病例14840例(含臨床診斷病例13332例)。

什么是臨床診斷病例（clinically diagnosed cases）？為什么要新增臨床診斷病例？

In a statement released on Thursday morning, the commission said it now considers patients who are clinically diagnosed as having the novel coronavirus disease as confirmed patients when releasing the figures. Previously only patients testing positive for the virus were regarded as confirmed patients in Hubei.
湖北省衛(wèi)健委在通報(bào)中表示，湖北省將臨床診斷病例數(shù)納入確診病例數(shù)進(jìn)行公布。此前，只有病毒檢測(cè)為陽性的患者才能被納入確診患者。

隨著對(duì)新型冠狀病毒肺炎認(rèn)識(shí)的深入和診療經(jīng)驗(yàn)的積累，針對(duì)湖北省疫情特點(diǎn)，國家衛(wèi)生健康委辦公廳、國家中醫(yī)藥管理局辦公室印發(fā)的《新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎診療方案（試行第五版）》在湖北省的病例診斷分類中增加了“臨床診斷”，以便患者能及早按照確診病例接受規(guī)范治療，進(jìn)一步提高救治成功率。

中央指導(dǎo)組專家、北京朝陽醫(yī)院副院長童朝暉表示：

Revising the diagnosis standard can help doctors give a diagnosis for the disease. They can now give a diagnosis relying on a combination of factors, such as lung images, physical conditions and epidemiological history.
修訂診斷標(biāo)準(zhǔn)有益于臨床醫(yī)生對(duì)疾病多一個(gè)判斷。在臨床工作中，我們從肺部影像、體征以及流行病學(xué)史等方面綜合診斷。
