file:smq_content.asc

  return to Ascii data files
# Field Name Description Representation
1 SMQ_code 8-digit code assigned to the Standardised MedDRA Query, starts with "2" Used to create a "has_member" relationship between the SMQ and its members
2 Term_code Subordinate term code; could be a code for a MedDRA PT, LLT or child SMQ Used to create a "has_member" relationship between the SMQ and its members
3 Term_level MedDRA hierarchy level of the term (4 = "PT", 5 = "LLT") or 0 for a child SMQ MRSAT: ATN = "SMQ_TERM_LEVEL"
4 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) MRSAT: ATN = "SMQ_TERM_SCOPE" attached to the RUI
5 Term_category The category is assigned a single alphabetical letter depending on the algorithm applied. If the SMQ does not use algorithms, then all Term_category values are assigned "A." For a child SMQ, this field is assigned "S." MRSAT: ATN = "SMQ_TERM_CAT" attached to the RUI
6 Term_weight Term weight is used for some SMQ algorithms. "0" is used as default. MRSAT: ATN = "SMQ_TERM_WEIGHT" attached to the RUI
7 Term_status Identifies a term as active within this SMQ or inactive within this SMQ. When a term is added to an SMQ, the value is set to "A" for Active. The term can be flagged as "I" for inactive if the term is no longer used in the SMQ. MRSAT: ATN = "SMQ_TERM_STATUS" attached to the RUI
8 Term_addition_version Identifies the version of MedDRA in which this term was added to the SMQ MRSAT: ATN = "SMQ_TERM_ADDVERSION" attached to the RUI
9 Term_last_modified_version Identifies the version of MedDRA in which this term was last modified in this SMQ. MRSAT: ATN = "SMQ_TERM_LMVERSION" attached to the RUI
