Current concepts and nomenclature harmonization

چکیده
Several types of cerebrovascular lesions are associated with cognitive decline, but the role of each type in dementia manifestation has yet to be determined. One of the greatest barriers of conducting clinicopathological studies in vascular dementia concerns the overlapping of nomenclature for these lesions. The aim of the present review was to discuss current nomenclature for cerebrovascular lesions and suggest modifications to allow better diagnostic reproducibility

Vascular dementia: Current concepts and nomenclature harmonization
Several types of cerebrovascular lesions are associated with cognitive decline, but the role of each type in dementia manifestation has yet to be determined. One of the greatest barriers of conducting clinicopathological studies in vascular dementia concerns the overlapping of nomenclature for these lesions. The aim of the present review was to discuss current nomenclature for cerebrovascular l...
متن کاملTerminology Harmonization in Industry Classification Standards
Terminology as a research area has shifted from portraying terms as lexical units to a concept-oriented approach. Accordingly, the process of terminology harmonization has to cope with the concept orientation of term entries. One approach to harmonization is the integration of several terminologies into one centralized terminology repository, which is either formalized as a conceptual system or...
متن کاملEvaluation of the content coverage of SNOMED CT representing ICNP seven-axis version 1 concepts.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms) to represent the concepts of the ICNP version 1--the seven-axis model. METHODS The first author mapped 1658 concepts of the ICNP version 1 to SNOMED CT using CLUE browser 5.0. The second author from SNOMED Terminology Solutions--with a team of SNOMED CT experts--...
متن کاملA comparative analysis of the density of the SNOMED CT conceptual content for semantic harmonization
OBJECTIVES Medical terminologies vary in the amount of concept information (the "density") represented, even in the same sub-domains. This causes problems in terminology mapping, semantic harmonization and terminology integration. Moreover, complex clinical scenarios need to be encoded by a medical terminology with comprehensive content. SNOMED Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT), a leading clinical ter...
متن کاملHarmonization of Clinical Laboratory Information – Current and Future Strategies
According to a patient-centered viewpoint, the meaning of harmonization in the context of laboratory medicine is that the information should be comparable irrespective of the measurement procedure used and where and/or when a measurement is made. Harmonization represents a fundamental aspect of quality in laboratory medicine as its ultimate goal is to improve patient outcomes through the provis...
