Another idea that can help with hierarchy mismatch, i.e. Case 3
is to make “Has due to” and “Finding asso with” SNOMED relationship_id hierarchical.
SNOMED itself doesn’t make hierarchy from these pairs, but the pairs looks like hierarchical, look:
while sometimes it doesn’t work
there are consequenses of Burn while Burn itself could happened a long before.
Well, we may define a list of chronic conditions: diabetes, congenital states, AIDS, etc. and build such a hierarchical relationships for them only.
The decision is kinda questionable: to modify the official vocabulary based on the manually filtered list of the concepts.
@Christian_Reich, looks like we need to request those changes in SNOMED first.
