Linking RxNorm drugs to classes For MeSH, we extracted the PA relations from the MeSH data set and integrated them with RxNorm, in which the MeSH ingredients are already contained. There are 2,533 RxNorm ingredients with a PA relation. For ATC, we created a mapping at the ingredient level between ATC 5-level drugs and RxNorm. There are 2,441 RxNorm (salt or non-salt) ingredients (IN/PIN) with a...
متن کاملDesiderata for Drug Classification Systems for their Use in Analyzing Large Drug Prescription Datasets
Background: Information about the billions of prescriptions written for patients each year is collected in large datasets. Drug classification systems (DCSs) are key to analyzing these datasets. However, their ability to support such analyses has not been studied. Methods: We identified six desirable features for drug classification systems (DCSs) from the perspective of analyzing large drug pr...
