Counts

Attribute Name	Description	Count (MRSAT.RRF)
SMQ_TERM_ADDVERSION	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Addition Version. Version of MedDRA in which term was added to the SMQ.	90438
SMQ_TERM_CAT	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Term Category. A single alphabetical letter indicating the category of the term for application of the SMQ algorithm. If the SMQ does not use algorithms, then all Term_category values are assigned "A." For a child SMQ, this field is assigned "S."	90438
SMQ_TERM_LMVERSION	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Last Modified Version. Version of MedDRA in which term was last modified in the SMQ.	90438
SMQ_TERM_SCOPE	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Term Scope. Defines the MedDRA term as a member of the broad scope (1), narrow scope (2) of the SMQ search, or a child SMQ (0) (zero).	90438
SMQ_TERM_STATUS	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Term Status. Identifies a term as active ("A") or inactive ("I") within this SMQ.	90438
SMQ_TERM_WEIGHT	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Term Weight. Used for some SMQ algorithms; "0" is used as default.	90438
MXR	MedDRA cross reference to COSTART, HARTS, ICD9, ICD-9-CM, J-ART or WHOART	41689
SMQ_TERM_LEVEL	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Term Level. The MedDRA hierarchy level of a term (4=PT, 5=LLT) or 0 (zero) for a child SMQ.	33118
MPS	MedDRA primary SOC (PTs may have multiple treepositions, but each has a primary soc)	18075
SMQ_ALGO	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Algorithm. Boolean expression of algorithm for the SMQ. "N" if the SMQ does not utilize an algorithm.	142
SMQ_LEVEL	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Level. Value between 1 and 5 identifying the level of the SMQ within the hierarchy of SMQs; 1 is the most general, 5 is the most narrow.	142
SMQ_STATUS	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Status. "A" = active; "I" = inactive.	142
SMQ_SOURCE	Standardised MedDRA Query (SMQ) Source. Source for the development of the SMQ, e.g. medical references.	107
SOS	Scope Statement	69
MISO	MedDRA Serial Code International SOC Sort Order Digit (01-26)	26
FROMRSAB	Root source abbreviation for the "from" identifiers of a map set	2
FROMVSAB	Versioned source abbreviation for the "from" identifiers of a map set	2
MAPSETRSAB	Root source abbreviation for a map set	2
MAPSETTYPE	Indicates the nature of a map set. Its value is map set specific. It can be used to indicate the inclusion of one to one, one to many and choices of maps.	2
MAPSETVERSION	Version of the map set	2
MAPSETVSAB	Versioned source abbreviation for a map set	2
MTH_MAPFROMCOMPLEXITY	Indicates the complexity of "from" expressions used in a map set	2
MTH_MAPFROMEXHAUSTIVE	Indicates whether or not the "from" source of a map set is completely mapped	2
MTH_MAPSETCOMPLEXITY	Indicates the overall complexity of a map set	2
MTH_MAPTOCOMPLEXITY	Indicates the complexity of "to" expressions in a map set	2
MTH_MAPTOEXHAUSTIVE	Indicates whether or not the "to" source is completely mapped	2
TORSAB	Root source abbreviation for the "to" identifiers of a map set	2
TOVSAB	Versioned source abbreviation for the "to" identifiers of a map set	2

Background

• Each attribute in each source is assigned an Attribute Name (ATN) based on source documentation or NLMs understanding of the source.
• Samples below are taken from MRSAT.RRF, although not every field is shown. Associated terms (str) from MRCONSO.RRF are also shown for clarity.
• Sample data highlight examples of ATNs and Attribute Values (ATV) in MRSAT.RRF.
• ATN abbreviations are contained in MRSAT, i.e., DID.
• The corresponding ATVs, i.e., Descriptor Identifier, are listed in Appendix B.2 at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/metab2.html#sb2_0.
• See Section 2.7.1.3.5 in UMLS Documentation Section 2, Metathesaurusfor more information on MRSAT.RRF.
