Hi AllI wonder if someone can help me answer these questions:
I am a PhD student, my research involves utilizing cTAKES. I'm using the
desktop version, cTAKES 4.0.0.1 , for my research. I built a dictionary using
the most recent SNOMED codes 2023 sourced from UMLS. My research involves using
the MIMIC VI database, within which resides report #5419. This particular
report has been diagnosed with ICD10 code Z51.11.
Upon manual inspection of the report, I observed the occurrence of the term
"Chemotherapy" appearing 13 times. Interestingly, cTAKES identified these
instances of "Chemotherapy" using codes 363688001 and 367336001. However, the
specific SNOMED codes that accurately represent the diagnosis of "Chemotherapy"
are 373832009, 373833004, 373835006, and 373836007.
This discrepancy prompts the question: Why did cTAKES opt for codes 363688001
and 367336001 instead of employing 373832009, 373833004, 373835006, and
373836007 to represent the concept of "Chemotherapy"? Any resources I can use
to help me with other similar questions?
Thanks
