AERS CUI--> SNOMED Map #68

Open ericaVoss opened 9 years ago

ericaVoss commented 9 years ago

We need to use UMLS to get from CUI to SNOMED. CUIs can map to many SNOMEDs. We were selecting the MAX(SNOMED) in this CUI/SNOMED lookup. However I can use the Vocab to be a tad bit smarter, I can ask for all CUI-SNOMED associations from UMLS, then asked the Vocab which SNOMEDs are CONDITIONS and then make a choice in situations where there are still multiple CUI/SNOMED mapps. In the case of Rhabdo this gets me away from the OBSERVATION domain and into the CONDITION domain.

You can also test for the "social life", i.e. how many siblings and children a target concept has. SNOMED lets many of it's redundant concepts die a slow death, meaning, it strips all of the relatives and only then deprecates it.
