Some examples of possibly or likely erroneous role grouping

Some examples of possibly or likely erroneous role grouping

The following SQL query has been used to identify these examples. The query selects concept with two or more role groups, including two or more self-grouped attributes, which are active and have an FSN without any substring indicating multiple conditions.

select distinct concepts_snap.id, descriptions_snap.term as fsn from concepts_snap join transitiveclosure on concepts_snap.id = transitiveclosure.subtypeId join descriptions_snap on concepts_snap.id = descriptions_snap.conceptId where transitiveclosure.supertypeId = 404684003 # clinical finding and descriptions_snap.active = 1 and descriptions_snap.typeId = 900000000000003001 # fsn and concepts_snap.id in ( select conceptId from descriptions_snap where descriptions_snap.typeId = 900000000000003001 # fsn and term like '%...%' # e.g. infection of OR remove to get all concepts and term not like '% with %' and term not like '% and %' and term not like '% and/or %' and term not like '%due to%' and term not like '%effect of%' and term not like '%syndrome%' and term not like '%bilateral%') and concepts_snap.active = 1 and (concepts_snap.id in ( # concepts with >1 RGs select sourceId from ( select sourceId, relationshipGroup from relationships_snap where active = 1 and typeId <> 116680003 and typeId <> 123005000 group by sourceId, relationshipGroup ) x group by sourceId having count(*) > 1 ) or (concepts_snap.id in ( # concepts with >1 RG0s select sourceId from relationships_snap where active = 1 and typeId <> 116680003 and typeId <> 123005000 and relationshipGroup = 0 group by sourceId having count(*) > 1 )))

In total there are 33 514 unique concepts in the clinical findings hierarchy (~30 %) which fulfill the criteria in this query in the Jan 2019 release. It is likely that there is a fair amount of false positives in the set.
