Wound infection is a serious health care complication. Standardized clinical terminologies could be leveraged to support the early identification of wound infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the representation of wound infection assessment and diagnosis concepts (N=26) in SNOMED CT and ICNP, using a synthesized procedural framework. A total of 13/26 (50%) assessment and diagnosis concepts had exact matches in SNOMED CT and 2/7 (29%) diagnosis concepts had exact matches in ICNP. This study demonstrated that the source concepts were moderately well represented in SNOMED CT and ICNP; however, further work is necessary to increase the representation of diagnostic infection types. The use of the framework facilitated a systematic, transparent, and repeatable mapping process, with opportunity to extend.
伤口感染是一种严重的医疗并发症。标准化临床术语可用于支持伤口感染的早期识别。本研究的目的是使用综合程序框架评估伤口感染评估和诊断概念（共26个）在SNOMED CT和ICNP中的呈现情况。在SNOMED CT中，共有13/26（50%）的评估和诊断概念有完全匹配项，在ICNP中，2/7（29%）的诊断概念有完全匹配项。本研究表明，源概念在SNOMED CT和ICNP中的呈现情况中等；然而，有必要开展进一步工作以增加诊断感染类型的呈现。该框架的使用促进了一个系统、透明且可重复的映射过程，并有扩展的机会。
