SNOMED Concept replaced by but no Maps to relationship #15

Closed don-torok closed 6 years ago

don-torok commented 6 years ago

Is this a problem There is no 'Maps to' releationship for SNOMED concept id 45958972 (Icatibant acetate) which is Replace by concept 45773118 (Icatibant acetate)

I expected a 'Maps to' relationship from 45958972 to 45773118 in addition to the 'Concept replaced by' relationship. Otherwise users must first follow the 'Concept replaced by' for any updated concepts prior to following the 'Maps to' relationship.

From the discussion in a prior forum post I was led to believe it was not necessary to first follow the 'Concept replaced by' relationship prior to looking for the standard, 'Maps to', concept.

Note: looking at another example, Concept id 3034863 for LOINC code 35719-4, I do see both a 'Maps to' and 'Concept replaced by' relationship.

'Maps to' relationship connects standard and non-standard concepts, which is not the case here (45773118 is non-standard). Then you can see 'SNOMED - RxNorm eq' from 45773118 to 46274266 (RxNorm) icatibant acetate. From the discussion in a prior forum post I was led to believe it was not necessary to first follow the 'Concept replaced by' relationship prior to looking for the standard, 'Maps to', concept. <<< absolutely true when you do have 'Maps to' relationship. Here you need to follow white 'SNOMED - RxNorm eq' rabbit.

We are looking at using some race concepts in Australian context and came across 4030302 (South Asian AND/OR Australian aborigine) it's a non-standard concept, it does not have "replaced by" or "maps to". We have created custom concepts for the ethnicity but there this seem to be an existing concept that fits our need for race.

Hi @guanguounsw , we use this list of concepts to define a Race https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/Race_Ethnicity_CodeSet.pdf Can 38003613 "Other Pacific Islander" concept be used instead?
