Applies to

Poisoning caused by substance, product, or organism excluding "Overdose", and "Intoxication" (which have their own templates):

 

Template Language

Note:

  • Pathological process is added to include content under food poisoning.

  • Addition of other attributes such as "246454002 |Occurrence (attribute)|, 363714003 |Interprets (attribute)|, and 363713009 |Has interpretation (attribute)| was considered. However, they were not added due to the very low number of concepts defined by them. Same consideration was applied to expanding the range for 42752001 |Due to (attribute)| to include 71388002 |Procedure (procedure)|, 
     and/or 64572001 |Disease (disorder)| i.e. they were not added as valid values for due to attribute because only a very small number of concepts are defined by them.

Rules for generating descriptions:

  1. Apply General rules for generating descriptions for templates

  2. Remove the word 'event' and semantic tag from the value of |Due to|

EDITORIAL GUIDELINES for Causative agent (attribute):

Hierarchy

Concept type

Allowed

Exception

Examples and Notes

Hierarchy

Concept type

Allowed

Exception

Examples and Notes

Substance

Base

yes

none

Poisoning concepts representing a substance base should be modeled using a Causative agent that is a descendant of 105590001 |Substance (substance)|.

Examples:

  • 13503000 |Poisoning caused by naloxone (disorder)|

  • 30138004 |Poisoning caused by ether (disorder)|

Classification results are expected to be consistent with the modeling of the concept selected as the Causative agent in the Substance hierarchy.

Substance

Modification

no

yes

Poisoning concepts representing a substance modification should be modeled using a Causative agent that is a descendant of 105590001 |Substance (substance)|. Concepts representing substance modifications are exceptions and may be included if the poisoning profile is significantly different from the substance base.

Exception examples:

  • Salt forms (e.g. 273948005 |Chloral hydrate (substance)|, 396063006 |Fluphenazine decanoate (substance)|)

Examples:

  • 62942003 |Tetraethyl pyrophosphate poisoning (disorder)|

Substance

Structure grouper

yes

none

Poisoning concepts representing a structure grouper should be modeled using a Causative agent that is a descendant of 105590001 |Substance (substance)|.

Examples:

  • 1153528004 |Poisoning caused by substance with ether structure (disorder)|

Classification results are expected to be consistent with the modeling of the concept selected as the Causative agent in the Substance hierarchy.

Substance

Disposition grouper

yes

none

Poisoning concepts representing a disposition grouper should be modeled using a Causative agent that is a descendant of 105590001 |Substance (substance)|.

Examples:

  • 9291000 |Poisoning caused by monoamine oxidase inhibitor (disorder)|

Classification results are expected to reflect that the adverse reaction concepts are descendants of the appropriate disposition grouper based on the modeling of the 726542003 |Has disposition (attribute)| attribute in the substance hierarchy.

Substance

Role grouper

no

none

Poisoning concepts representing a Role grouper should be modeled using a Causative agent that is a descendant of 105590001 |Substance (substance)|.

Example:

  • 241748001 |Poisoning caused by analgesic drug (disorder)|

Classification results are expected to reflect that the adverse reaction concepts are descendants of the appropriate disposition grouper based on the modeling of the 726542003 |Has disposition (attribute)| attribute in the substance hierarchy.
