Associated etiologic finding
Also asserts A definitely caused by B
Accepts as values Findings Disorders
![Page 6: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Examples:
Graft failure due to thrombosis Associated etiologic finding Thrombosis
Iron deficiency anemia Associated etiologic finding Iron
deficiency

Temporally follows
Asserts that A occurred after B Neither asserts nor excludes causal
relationship between A and B Accepts as values
Findings Disorders Procedures
![Page 8: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Examples
Post-measles encephalitis Temporally follows Measles
Post-operative hemorrhage Temporally follows Surgical procedure
![Page 9: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Problems and limitations:
Causality vs. association not always clear
Confusion between Associated etiologic finding and Temporally follows
Lack of generic “associated with” attribute
Cannot define a procedure as cause of a disorder or finding
![Page 10: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Causality attributes appropriate if:
A is known to be caused by B Causality keywords:
due to caused by induced by resulting from

Ambiguous associations
Causality unclear in many cases Keywords:
associated with in with modified by during complicating secondary to
![Page 12: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
So how do I say: “A associated with B” ?
Use Temporally follows (old solution)
Use Associated with (proposed new solution)
DON’T! (preferred solution)
![Page 13: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Temporally follows = associated with?
PRO Previously recommended Uses existing attribute
CON A and B may occur simultaneously Loss of “A POST B” as distinct meaning
![Page 14: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Associated with
Proposed new attribute Neither asserts nor excludes causality Would be parent of:
Causative agent Associated etiologic finding Temporally follows
![Page 15: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Associated with
Pro: Unambiguous way to express ambiguous
associations
Con Not yet accepted Potential overlap with Temporally follows
![Page 16: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Proposed use of Associated with:
Will be used to express A + B without specifying nature of relationship between A and B
Examples: Tuberculosis in pregnancy AIDS with pneumonia
![Page 17: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why bother?
Good question!
We DO NOT recommend using “Associated with” to post-coordinate concepts
If you cannot specify the nature of the relationship between two concepts, do not conjoin them
Enter as separate diagnoses or findings
![Page 18: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Temporally follows vs. Associated with:
Potential overlap Both concepts neither assert nor exclude
causality Temporally follows has been previously
used to mean “associated with” Proposed new attribute hierarchy does
not clearly define distinction between Temporally follows (may become “Sequela of”) and Associated with in use.
![Page 19: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Temporally follows vs. Associated etiologic finding
If A caused B, then by definition B preceded A (if only by a nanosecond). The lag in time between A and B, however, is often inapparent or insignificant.
Associated etiologic finding stresses causality
Temporally follows stresses time sequence
![Page 20: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Proposed guideline:
Use Temporally follows only when A necessarily follows B by a clinical significant period of time.
Keywords: after following post subsequent to

Example 1
Post-viral encephalitisTemporally follows Viral infection
Occurs after resolution of viral infectionCompare to: Viral encephalitis
Causative agent Virus
![Page 22: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Example 2
Post-operative hemorrhageTemporally follows Surgical procedure
Compare to:Intra-operative hemorrhage
Associated with Surgical procedure
![Page 23: The Guilty, the Innocent, and the SNOMED Shuffle Attributes in transition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93fe2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example 3
Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritisTemporally follows Streptococcal infection
Associated etiologic finding Streptococcal infection
If association is BOTH temporal and causal, both attributes are used.
