Quite interesting: Postpartum depression (SNOMED-CT:***03003) Major depressive disorder, single episode with postpartum onset (SNOMED-CT:***22000) Maternity blues (SNOMED-CT:***225001) Mild postnatal depression (SNOMED-CT:***349002) Severe postnatal depression (SNOMED-CT:***350002) Recurrent major depressive disorder with postpartum onset (SNOMED-CT:***36009) In SNOMED, you would have a minimum of 6 apparently unrelated codes to code the concept of postnatal depression then. No hierarchical relationship? So if I want to search for all women who suffered from postnatal depression, would I have to query for code 03003 OR 22000 OR 225001 OR .... ? If I have lets say a dozen apparently unrelated codes for individual common concepts, and no good hierarchical way to browse & query through concepts as opposed to individual codes, where does that lead me?
