  1. Injury of blood vessels of lower extremity Sample Hierarchy for Blood Vessel Injury to the Leg Peripheral vascular disease About SNOMED Relationships Injury of blood vessels of the leg Injury of blood vessels at lower leg level Popliteal blood vessel injury Deep plantar blood vessel injury Injury of blood vessels at ankle and foot level Tibial blood vessel injury

  2. (91523003) Peripheral vascular disease (41335004) Injury of blood vessels of lower extremity Relationships for Injury to Blood Vessels of Leg (210864001) Injury to blood vessels of leg Is a Is a Has finding site Associated morphology (19130008) Traumatic abnormality (281238003) Vascular structure of lower limb

  3. (210864001) Injury to blood vessels of leg Relationships for Tibial Blood Vessel Injury (210883008) Tibial blood vessel injury Is a Has finding site Associated morphology (19130008) Traumatic abnormality (312532006) Tibial vessel

  4. Concept Inter-relationships for 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.

  5. Relationship Types for Disorders Clinical Attributes • Finding Site • Causative Agent • Associated Morphology • Laterality Hierarchical • Is a

  6. The “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: “Tibial blood vessle injury” “Is a” (kind of) “Injury to the blood vessels of leg”

  7. The “Finding site” Relationship • The “Finding site” relationship identifies the part of the body affected by the specific disorder or finding. For example: “Tibial blood vessel injury” (has) “Finding site” “Tibial vessel”

  8. The “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: “Colitoxemia” (has) “Causative agent” “Escheria coli toxin”

  9. The “Associated morphology” Relationship • The “Associated morphology” relationship identifies the abnormal physical condition that is characteristic of a given disorder or finding. For example: “Injury to the leg” (has) “Associated morphology” “Traumatic abnormality”

  10. The “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”
