Requirement for description matching FSN in MRCM

BGO

• From EAG

  • Current FSN naming conventions result in "non-user-friendly" descriptions. Creation of another description without the semantic tag adds no value

  • Many existing FSNs would be ambiguous without the addition of the semantic tag.

  • Users often do not request "preferred terms" so rely on editors to provide appropriate descriptions.

  • Historically, many FSNs were glorified preferred terms

  • This is an issue that only affects English versions as translation provide terms of use in their languages

  • Challenge to editors is when to create a different preferred term if the FSN term is not user-friendly.

  • This has an impact on acceptance of word order variants as preferred terms.

User-friendly names as additional descriptions for co-occurent and co-occurrent and due to patterns

X co-occurrent with Y --→ X and Y
Asthma co-occurrent with allergic rhinitis --→ Asthma AND allergic rhinitis
Asthma co-occurrent with chronic obstructive lung disease
Asthma AND chronic obstructive lung disease
Asthma-chronic obstructive lung disease overlap syndrome
X co-occurrent and due to Y --→ X and Y due to Y
Intestinal obstruction co-occurrent and due to hernia --→ Hernia AND intestinal obstruction due to hernia
