Included Content

File Name Included Records Fields Used
meddra_all_label_se.tsv.gz All records (~63,473 label-specific side effect associations) STITCH_compound_id_flat, UMLS_concept_id_label, MedDRA_concept_type, UMLS_concept_id_MedDRA, side_effect_name

Filtered Content

File Name Filtered Records Rationale
meddra_all_label_se.tsv.gz include only MedDRA_concept_type = PT (preferred term) from http://sideeffects.embl.de/media/download/README: There is at least one PT for every LLT, but sometimes the PT is the same as the LLT. LLTs are sometimes too detailed, and therefore you might want to filter for PT."
