Just to clarify the cases I encountered were not valid conceptually but 
appeared to be valid , i.e. had cui, tui and SNOMED code. I used today as an 
example to show exactly that "conceptual" issue but it has been many months 
since the last time I encountered this so I don't have any proper examples to 
list at the moment.

Hi Peter,

Yes I have (before I started using the cased format) and it was only medication 
indeed-- however it was  drugs that should not be annotated as such in the 
first place , e.g. today as an antibiotic which led me to think it may have had 
something to do with broken links, even residuals from efforts to "fix" certain 
entries perhaps?  Our cohort was for heart attack so not a very broad range of 
meds were present in the letters; perhaps I did not encounter "valid" cases 
just out of luck because of the specific cohort...?

Kind Regards,

Eugenia Monogyiou

Subject: Issue with dictionary creator?

Has anyone seen an issue where a dictionary is created from UMLS sources where 
there is no entry in PREFTERM for a valid CUI that is present in TUI, 
CUI_TERMS, and SNOMEDCT_US?.

It seems to be happening in certain medication mentions where there is a base 
drug instance and then various forms.  It could be that one of the form 
descriptions is obsolete, but that wouldn't explain why it was only 
half-present in the resulting dictionary.

for instance

clobetasol CUI 8992  has an entry in every table clobetasol emollient  CUI 
4520933  has all information in every table clobetasol topical  CUI 3207574 but 
is missing only in PREFTERM

cui_term
'3207574','0','2','clobetasol topical','clobetasol'
'3207574','0','8','clobetasol - containing product in cutaneous dose 
form','clobetasol'

Tui
'3207574','200'

Snomed
'3207574','771278006'

Prefterm
