Voorbeeldje:
"Candidates for lung transplantation must have been free of substance addiction, e.g., alcohol, tobacco, narcotics, for at least 6 mo. Appropriate preoperative biochemical monitoring is recommended in at-risk patients.
Psychosocial problems that are unable to be resolved and that have a high likelihood of impacting negatively on the patient's outcome, e.g., poorly controlled major psychoaffective disorder, inability to comply with complex medication regimen, are a relative contraindication. A documented history of noncompliance with medical care or treatment plans even in the absence of documented psychiatric problem is a relative contraindication. "
