When determining if an illness is chronic vs. acute is it based off of how long the patient has had the condition or is it based on if the condition is considered a chronic or acute condition?
example: a patient has actinic keratosis which happens with sun exposure throughout life But if it’s only been present on the patient for a week would that be considered chronic or acute?
