The Criteria is composed of six chapters, including the range of application, terms and definitions, diagnostic principle, diagnostic standard, and differential diagnosis.

The Criteria was issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China through No.21 of Chinese Health Announcement in 2015.
