The IndexiGuide tool: Semantic Classification of Guidelines

Introduction: To facilitate guideline retrieval, the medical expert indexes the guideline document by one or more intermediate or leaf nodes within one or more external (indexing) semantic axes trees, using the IndexiGuide tool. Currently, the semantic axes are:

    1. symptoms and signs (e.g., hypertension)
    2. diagnostic findings (e.g., blood-cell counts)
    3. disorders (e.g., endocrine disorders, neoplasms)
    4. treatments (e.g., antibiotic therapy, surgery)
    5. body systems and regions (e.g., pituitary gland)
    6. guideline types (e.g., screening, prevention, management)
    7. guideline specialties (e.g., internal medicine). Semantic axes are typically headers of standardized vocabularies such as MeSH, ICD-9 or CPT.
