Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To describe the key systems used for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) classification.

METHODS

The TCM classifications used in the International Classification of Diseases-9 Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) volume 3, the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System, the International Classification of Health Interventions, and the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Chinese Traditional Medicine and Materia Medica Subject Headings (TCMeSH) thesauruses were compared regarding descriptive terms, structure, and features of TCM interventions.

RESULTS

The National Library of Medicine's MeSH thesaurus is ubiquitous. The ICD-9-CM (volume 3), ICD-10 Procedure Coding System, and International Classification of Health Interventions cover insufficient concepts of TCM, and cannot be used directly as classification systems for TCM interventions. In contrast, the TCM contents of the TCMeSH thesaurus are complete, systematic, and detailed, and its hierarchical structure can be used for effective TCM classification.

CONCLUSION

TCM classification is very limited and flawed. The MeSH thesaurus helps decrease the detrimental effect of the language barrier. Similarly, the TCMeSH thesaurus can help those without full command of the Mandarin language to access Chinese literature, but the value of searches using TCMeSH could be improved by collaborative working with Information Specialists who are fluent in Mandarin and understand TCM.

中医干预措施的分类
目的介绍中药分类的关键系统。方法比较《国际疾病分类-9临床修饰》(ICD-9-CM)卷3、《ICD-10程序编码系统》、《国际卫生干预措施分类》、《医学主题目》(MeSH)和《中医药主题目》(TCMeSH)词库中中医干预措施的描述术语、结构和特征。结果美国国家医学图书馆的MeSH词库无处不在。ICD-9-CM(卷3)、ICD-10程序编码系统和国际卫生干预措施分类涵盖的中医概念不足,不能直接用作中医干预措施的分类系统。相比之下,TCMeSH词库的中医内容完整、系统、详细,其层次结构可用于有效的中医分类。结论中药分类方法存在局限性和缺陷。MeSH同义词典有助于减少语言障碍的有害影响。同样,TCMeSH词典可以帮助那些不完全掌握普通话的人访问中国文献,但使用TCMeSH的搜索价值可以通过与精通普通话和了解中医的信息专家合作来提高。
