Concept Inter-relationships for Concept Inter-relationships for Disorders Disorders

• SNOMED CT uses relationships between concepts to provide logical, computer readable definitions of medical concepts. These relationships, which can be hierarchical or non-hierarchical, enable health data to be re-used for decision support, outcomes analysis and clinical research. Follow this link to see the relationship types applicable to finding and disorders.

• Associated Morphology

• Laterality

Hierarchical

• Is a


The “Is a” RelationshipThe “Is a” Relationship

• The “Is a” relationship is used to create a hierarchical relationships between concepts, relating specific concepts to a more general category. For example:

“Pulmonary tularemia” “Is a” (kind of) “Tularemia”


The “Finding site” RelationshipThe “Finding site” Relationship

• The “Finding site” relationship identifies the part of the body affected by the specific disorder or finding. For example:

“Pulmonary tularemia” (has) “Finding site” “Lung structure”


The “Causative agent” RelationshipThe “Causative agent” Relationship

• The “Causative agent” relationship identifies the direct cause of the disorder or finding. The causative agent is the bacterium, virus, toxin or environmental agent that causes the disorder. For example:

“Tularemia” (has) “Causative agent” “Francissella tularensis”


The “Associated morphology” The “Associated morphology” RelationshipRelationship

• The “Associated morphology” relationship identifies the abnormal physical condition that is characteristic of a given disorder or finding. For example:

“Pneumonia” (has) “Associated morphology” “Inflammation”


The “Laterality” RelationshipThe “Laterality” Relationship

• The laterality relationship specifies the side of the body that applies to an anatomy concept. Procedures, findings and disorders can have laterality by qualifying their site (procedure-site or finding-site). For example:

“Left kidney” (has) “Laterality” “Left”

“Cyst of left kidney” (has) “Finding site” “Left Kidney”

“Biopsy of left kidney” (has) “Procedure site” “Left Kidney”
