Quality All medical consultations are reported and coded according to the WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICD, Version 9:
http://www.wolfbane.com/icd/icd9h.htm ; All versions: http://www.wolfbane.com/icd/)

In the case of Antarctic activities the definition of this figure is effectively; the number of consultations that would occur if a thousand people were to be on station for one year.
