Diagnostic or condition concept sets are collections of terms, codes, and concepts used to standardize and categorize medical diagnoses in healthcare research. These concept sets help ensure consistency in how diseases, conditions, and medical diagnoses are identified and analyzed across various studies, datasets, and healthcare systems. The purpose of diagnosis concept sets is to provide a structured and reproducible way of identifying, categorizing, and analyzing the vast array of diagnoses that healthcare professionals assign to patients based on their clinical evaluations, symptoms, tests, and medical histories.
