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?
Post-coordination blues : a syndrome characterized by profound
chagrin associated with inability to handle the proliferation of
runaway codes.
