Dear Khurram, dear Luis, >What if we use Cedric's idea and use the "extra info" section >of each disease to add its approximate synonyms? In Austria the Ministry of Health provides a free database „SYSTEMDATEN2016.mdb“. Within this database there is a table „ICD10_TH“ which consists of 74.045 datasets with ICD-Code and „official“ synonyms. See http://www.bmg.gv.at/cms/home/attachments/0/5/7/CH1166/CMS1128343984496/stammdaten_2016_sp1.zip >I think these approximate synonyms are also defined in ICD >against every disease! (I may be totally wrong!). You are nearly right! In Austria there are 13.153 ICD-10 codes. Of those 13.153 codes there are 7.958 codes with one or more synonyms. >Once the synonyms are there in "extra info" column, >we can add this column to extended search spectrum for making it searchable. C79.8 has the maximum with 591 synonyms. Only one „extra info“ per disease would not work then. >>> The frequency of this issue is reasonably high. Yes, I agree. >>>Can anybody suggest
> >Moreover, we are unable to search for the diseases using the Code.
