MEDCIN (MEDCIN) - Metathesaurus Representation


This page lists UMLS Metathesaurus data elements and traces them back to the specific source data that populates them.

VSAB: MEDCIN3_2023_07_20


Summary of Changes

Mappings to SNOMEDCT_US_2023_06_30


Source Provided Files:

The Metathesaurus uses the following four pipe-delimited MEDCIN files:
  • UMLS_MEDCIN_CONCEPTS2023-07-20.txt
  • UMLS_MEDCIN_DESCRIPTIONS2023-07-20.txt
  • UMLS_MEDCIN_HIERARCHY2023-07-20.txt
  • UMLS_MEDCIN_SNOMED2023-07-20.txt

Identifiers:

Identifiers are assigned as follows:
  • CODE: MEDCIN ID
  • SAUI: Not Applicable
  • SCUI: MEDCIN ID
  • SDUI: Not Applicable

Atoms (MRCONSO):

  
Term Type Origin
FN An "FN" atom is created for each line of UMLS_MEDCIN_CONCEPTSyyyy-mm-dd.TXT, as follows:
CODE = MEDCINID
STR = CONCEPT_DESCRIPTION
SCUI = MEDCIN ID
PT A "PT" atom is created for each line of UMLS_MEDCIN_DESCRIPTIONSyyyy-mm-dd.TXT having PREF_FLAG_ID=1, as follows:
CODE = MEDCIN ID
STR = DESCRIPTION
SCUI = MEDCIN ID
SY An "SY" atom is created for each line of UMLS_MEDCIN_DESCRIPTIONSyyyy-mm-dd.TXT having PREF_FLAG_ID=0, as follows:
CODE = MEDCIN ID
STR = DESCRIPTION
SCUI = MEDCIN ID
XM One"XM"(cross mapping set) atom is generated, as follows:
CODE = "MTHU000001"
STR = "MEDCIN3_yyyy_mm_dd to SNOMEDCT_US_yyyy_mm_dd Mappings"
SCUI = "" (blank)
This data is added during Metathesaurus source processing.

Attributes (MRSAT):

Attribute Name STYPE Origin
PREF_FLAG_ID AUI PREF_FLAG_ID from UMLS_MEDCIN_DESCRIPTIONSyyyy-mm-dd.TXT
PREF_FLAG_ID RUI PREF_FLAG_ID from UMLS_MEDCIN_SNOMEDyyyy-mm-dd.TXT


In addition, the following map set attributes are added during Metathesaurus source processing:
FROMRSAB
FROMVSAB
MAPSETRSAB
MAPSETVERSION
MAPSETVSAB
MTH_MAPFROMCOMPLEXITY
MTH_MAPFROMEXHAUSTIVE
MTH_MAPSETCOMPLEXITY
MTH_MAPTOCOMPLEXITY
MTH_MAPTOEXHAUSTIVE
TORSAB
TOVSAB
XMAP
XMAPFROM
XMAPTO

Definitions (MRDEF):

No definitions are provided for MEDCIN.


Relationships (MRREL):

REL RELA/Inverse RELA ORIGIN
CHD
PAR
(blank) Hierarchical relationships derived from the "NODEKEY" values in UMLS_MEDCIN_HIERARCHYyyyy-mm-dd.TXT. The final two-character token is removed from each concept's "NODEKEY" to produce the "NODEKEY" of the concept's parent. These two concepts are then linked by a pair of "PAR/CHD" relationships.
RB
RN
RO
SY
(many RELA values) Relationships are created for the MEDCIN-to-SNOMEDCT mappings in UMLS_MEDCIN_SNOMEDyyyy-mm-dd.TXT. The "REL" and "RELA" are set corresponding to the "RELATIONSHIPTYPE" field.

Mappings (MRMAP):

One map set ("XM" atom, along with associated attributes and mappings) is included for MEDCIN.  Mappings are extracted from the file "UMLS_MEDCIN_SNOMEDyy-mm-dd.TXT.  Mappings are created for entries where the RELATIONSHIPTYPE = "168666000" (same_as).
