Table 1:

Highest-frequency concepts with depth d and 2 types of frequency counts. Subtables have 3 CUIs each for Anatomical Sites, Procedures, Disorders, and Findings. (a) and (b) are sorted within each semantic group by unpropagated counts of mentions in clinical and biomedical text, respectively. (c) and (d) are sorted within each semantic group by propagated counts, giving a sense of common topics for each domain.
