Abstract
► Clinical terminologies differ across healthcare databases. ► For standardized analyses, terminologies have to be standardized across databases. ► Mappings were developed transforming ICD-9-CM codes into SNOMED-CT and MedDRA. ► Mappings were successfully applied to two databases with minimal information loss. ► SNOMED-CT and MedDRA enable disparate data sources for observational analyses.
