We are working on a set of clinical notes where the language in the notes is different to the language in the classification scheme, in this case ICD9. The following words appear in ICD9 with a 'a' ending yet in our notes will sometimes have an 's' ending. I have made a search of Google and found all these words that can be found with an 's' ending and only a few don't. Can anyone give me an explanation for the different meanings for the two different morphologies and a description of what contexts you would use each of them in. The word list is only the words in the notes we are using - there are other examples e.g silicosia/silicosis
thanks
