A Medical Coding Dictionary is a Dictionary that consists of a controlled vocabulary that contains medical terms and their respective descriptions and clinical codes.
- AKA: Standardized Medical Coding Dicitionary.
- Context:
- It can (typically) be used for medical coding of clinical and medical terms.
- Example(s):
- Coding Symbols for Thesaurus of Adverse Reaction Terms (COSTART),
- International Classification of Diseases 9 Revision Clinical Modification (ICD9CM),
- Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA),
- World Health Organisation Adverse Reactions Terminology (WHO-ART),
- World Health Organisation Drug Dictionary Enhanced (WHO-DDE),
- ...
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Clinical Data Standard, Medical Classification System, Adverse Reaction, Adverse Effect, Medical Treatment, Medical Diagnosis, Clinical Trial.

- QUOTE: There are several standardized medical coding dictionaries in the market; however five dictionaries listed below are used for coding:
- COSTART - Coding Symbols for Thesaurus of Adverse Reaction Terms
- ICD9CM - International Classification of Diseases 9 Revision Clinical Modification
- MedDRA - Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities
- WHO-ART - World Health Organisation Adverse Reac-tions Terminology
- WHO-DDE - World Health Organisation Drug Dictio-nary Enhanced
- QUOTE: There are several standardized medical coding dictionaries in the market; however five dictionaries listed below are used for coding:
- Out of the above five, two widely used medical coding dictionaries used for coding medical terms generated in clinical trials are MedDRA and WHO-DDE. To maintain uniformity in reporting a term is next to impossible in any given clinical trial. However for a coder it is a challenging task to ensure that the term recorded/reported on data collection instrument (CRF/eCRF) is coded appropriately.
