An evaluation of SNOMED CT in the domain of complex chronic conditions.
Article in International journal of integrated care, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the content coverage in SNOMED CT to represent the multidisciplinary terms and concepts in the domain for complex chronic conditions.
methodsAn evaluation of the coverage of multidisciplinary health factors in SNOMED CT for the complex and chronic condition, multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is conducted in the study. The methodology included a retrospective audit of patient charts and feedback from multidisciplinary clinicians in the creation of a controlled vocabulary used in the generation of patient profiles for MCS. Clinicians and experts in the field reviewed and tested the vocabulary for its usefulness (scope, specificity and structure) by re-coding three patient profiles using the vocabulary. Cohen's kappa analysis was conducted to determine inter-rater reliability. Cronbach's alpha analysis was conducted to determine the internal reliability of the survey questionnaire.
resultsOne hundred patient charts and nine clinicians from varying health disciplines participated in the study. SNOMED CT was shown to capture nearly 82% of the concepts spanning multidisciplinary areas of health focus. The nutrition area of health focus had the highest level of exact matches. Furthermore, post-coordination was applied in an attempt to improve coverage of concepts to 75% (of 45 terms) of the missing terms in SNOMED CT. Seventy-five percent (n=9) of the clinicians agreed on the overall usefulness of the vocabulary.
conclusionsSNOMED CT had a reasonable coverage of the multidisciplinary health concepts required to describe a complex and chronic condition. Standardizing the multidisciplinary vocabulary with reference tag to a widely used reference terminology, such as SNOMED CT to discuss the terms and concepts used may improve the understanding across disciplines and communities of practice. Overall, based on the availability of concepts in SNOMED CT and the feedback from clinicians, the approach looks promising and should be further explored.
