DiseaseOntology / SymptomOntology

The symptom ontology was designed around the guiding concept of a symptom being: “A perceived change in function, sensation or appearance reported by a patient indicative of a disease”. Understanding the close relationship of Signs and Symptoms, where Signs are the objective observation of an illness, the Symptom Ontology will work to broaden it’s scope to capture and document in a more robust manor these two sets of terms. Understanding that at times, the same term may be both a Sign and a Symptom. The Symptom Ontology is available under CC0 license (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).

Closed hectorguzor closed 2 years ago

hectorguzor commented 3 years ago

Hello, the CMI-PB project at LJI is in need of an ontology term for 'paroxysmal cough'. Would it be possible to create a new term for this? Below is a textual definition and parent class:

paroxysmal cough: A persistent cough with sudden onset due to difficulty expelling thick mucus from the tracheobronchial tree. This type of cough is associated with diseases such as Pertussis (Whooping Cough).

Subclass of = cough

Thanks

Hi @lschriml,

I wanted to follow up on this issue. Is this a term that could go in The symptom ontology? Thanks

lschriml commented 2 years ago

Hello Hector, apologies for the delay. Yes, we can add this term. Cheers, Lynn

Apologies for the delay. The term has been added and will be available with the next release, which I hope to do next week.

hectorguzor commented 2 years ago

Thank you.

jbmunro commented 2 years ago

There is now a new release and the term 'paroxysmal cough' should be available.

Again - apologies for the delay.

Closing the ticket.
