This query enables search of vocabulary entities by keyword. The query does a search of standard concepts names in the CONDITION domain (SNOMED-CT clinical findings and MedDRA concepts) and their synonyms to return all related concepts.
It does not require prior knowledge of where in the logic of the vocabularies the entity is situated.
This is a comprehensive query to find relevant terms in the vocabulary. To constrain, additional clauses can be added to the query. However, it is recommended to do a filtering after the result set is produced to avoid syntactical mistakes.
The query only returns concepts that are part of the Standard Vocabulary, ie. they have concept level that is not 0. If all concepts are needed, including the non-standard ones, the clause in the query restricting the concept level and concept class can be commented out.
The following is a sample run of the query to run a search of the Condition domain for keyword 'myocardial infarction'.
