<div class="articleactions">2012 November 15 <span class="status">[posted]</span>
</div>
<div class="articleParagraph">
<p>The 2012AB release of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Knowledge Sources is available for <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/licensedcontent/umlsknowledgesources.html">download</a> as of November 15, 2012. </p>
<p>In the new UMLS Release there are: </p>
<ul>
<li>More than 2.8 million concepts and 11.2 million unique concept names from over 160 source vocabularies; the full Metathesaurus requires 23 GB of disk space </li>
<li>Four new sources
<ul>
<li>Eight-item Informant Interview to Differentiate Aging and Dementia (LNC_AD8)</li>
<li>FACIT Measurement System - Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (LNC_FACIT)</li>
<li>Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (LNC_MLHFQ)</li>
<li>Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (LNC_SPERTUS)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>One updated mapping
<ul>
<li>ICNP_2011 to SNOMEDCT_2011_07_31</li>
</ul></li>
<li>33 updated English sources and 10 updated translation sources including MeSH, MedDRA, RxNorm, and SNOMED CT (English and Spanish)</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>Data Changes</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>One name change appears in MRSAB.
<ul>
<li>HUGO (SAB=HUGO) is now HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee. Its SAB is HGNC.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>The Metathesaurus no longer includes the Home Health Classification (HHC). Clinical Care Classification (CCC) is the updated version of this vocabulary and is included in the Metathesaurus as of 2012AA.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>ICD-9-CM</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The Metathesaurus includes the March 2012 version of ICD-9-CM. It does not include the August 2012 data corrections. For information about the corrections see the CMS Web site: <a href="https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD9ProviderDiagnosticCodes/codes.html">https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD9ProviderDiagnosticCodes/codes.html</a>. <strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes (LOINC)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The representation of LOINC (SAB=LNC) in the Metathesaurus does not include the following content:
<ul>
<li>Ages &amp; Stages Questionnaire</li>
<li>Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale</li>
<li>Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement (PROMIS)</li>
<li>Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP)</li>
<li>Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>RSAB=LNC_NEUROQOL_2001 corrected to RSAB=LNC_NEUROQOL_2010.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The content provider did not include mapping information for MedDRA (SAB=MDR). As a result, the Metathesaurus does not include updated mappings for MedDRA to ICD-9-CM, CST95, and WHOART.<strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>SNOMED CT</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The Metathesaurus does not include the RF1 revised relationships file from August 2012.</li>
</ul>
