INTRODUCTION: Ishikawa and Jefferson are the two most commonly used systems used for the classification of @entity15265 ( @entity15265 ). However, relative utilities of these two classification systems have not been evaluated in detail in developing countries. In this study, we compared relative utilities of these two classification schemes in the evaluation of @entity15265 . OBJECTIVE: To compare the utility of Jefferson and Ishikawa classifications in the evaluation of @entity15265 . @entity1 AND METHODS: A total of 73 consecutive @entity1 of @entity15265 were prospectively classified using either Ishikawa or Jefferson classification and relative utility of these two classification schemes in determining etiology of @entity15265 was compared. RESULTS: While only 46.6% of @entity1 could be classified using Jefferson classification, 95.5% of @entity1 could be classified using Ishikawa scheme. @entity15265 was classified as anterior, middle, and posterior in 17.8%, 21.9%, and 8.2% of @entity1 , respectively, as per the Jefferson classification. As per the Ishikawa classification, 37% of @entity1 each showed anterior and posterior @entity15265 , 16.4% showed middle @entity15265 , whereas 4.1% had whole @entity15265 . Middle @entity15265 was significantly associated with the presence of @entity364 (P = 0.045) as per Jefferson classifications, and anterior @entity15265 was significantly associated with a vascular etiology (P = 0.005) as per Ishikawa classification. Overall, inflammatory causes were the most common cause for anterior @entity15265 , while @entity5 accounted for maximum cases of posterior @entity15265 . CONCLUSION: Although more number of @entity1 could be classified using Ishikawa classification, there was no advantage of Ishikawa classification over Jefferson with regard to determination of etiology of @entity15265 .
