we have noticed multiple groups of records in PCORNET_PROC ontology with the same concept_path and c_basecode, and "no qualifier" values in the c_name column. These records seem to be synonyms to valid c_name values but we are not sure how they are used in i2b2 (ARCH) queries since there are no facts with "no qualifier_cd" in the concept_cd columns.
Here is an example:
C_NAME C_BASECODE C_SYNONYM_CD
Occlusion of left external iliac vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach ICD10-PCS:06LG4ZZ N
no qualifier ICD10-PCS:06LG4ZZ Y
no qualifier ICD10-PCS:06LG4ZZ Y
Can you please confirm that this is not a bug and let us know how this "no qualifier" is useful to an average webclient user or in PopMedNet ETL?
From Galina:
We need to investigate this issue.
