Hi Jeff, The 4. default dictionary no longer filters rxnorm to only contain orange book terms.
If you want to filter your rxnorm terms using orange book it is possible by filtering your umls db before using the dictionary creator or by culling rxnorm terms in the created dictionary. It might be easier to just ignore non-orange book cuis during analysis (post-ctakes). https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-approvals-and-databases/approved-drug-products-therapeutic-equivalence-evaluations-orange-book Sean ________________________________________ From: Jeffrey Miller <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 10, 2019 9:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RxNorm and Orange book [EXTERNAL] Hi, Does cTAKES 4.0.0 still make use of the Orange Book and RxNorm_Index as indicated in the docs here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cwiki.apache.org_confluence_display_CTAKES_cTAKES-2B3.1-2BDictionaries-2Band-2BModels&d=DwIBaQ&c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&r=fs67GvlGZstTpyIisCYNYmQCP6r0bcpKGd4f7d4gTao&m=AM_4Qph_pbOQcEpv6TwWx_Rs0Yr4GNuWRGh_COiU4lI&s=RNX2CGey1QeHhYIL6xr2Gj9PQuH_3BEbWGBHolx1fLM&e= ? I ask because we are building our own dictionary via the dictionary creator GUI and have included RxNorm from the UMLS and wasn't sure what role the Orange Book and index play and if I need to do something special to include them when not using the ctakesresources hosted on sourceforge. Thanks, Jeff
