Table 1.

Overview of the penalties for different types of deviations from the preferred path as defined in the coordination template

Major penalty (1 point) Minor penalty (0.1 point)
Traversing one level up or down in the SNOMED CT hierarchy Using broader-narrower mappings from the manual mappings
Ignoring body structures in combinations Traversal from MedDRA lowest-level term (LLT) to preferred term (PT)
Using MedDRA SNOMED CT mappings in the inverse direction
Traversal within SNOMED CT between three types of body structure concepts (entire, part, and structure)
