The UMLS, or Unified Medical Language System, is a set of files and software that brings together many health and biomedical vocabularies and standards to enable interoperability between computer systems.
To install the UMLS on your computer, download the files. The MetamorphoSys tool, included with the downloaded files, allows you to customize the UMLS according to your needs. You can then load your customized data into your own database system, such as MySQL or Oracle, or you may browse your data using the MetamorphoSys RRF browser.
The medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA) is designed to be used in the registration, documentation and safety monitoring of products during the marketing authorisation process. Developed by the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) (multidisciplinary topic M1), MedDRA contains highly specific, standardised medical terminology.
To request a copy of the PUF, individuals (data recipients) must agree to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the Data Use Agreement, provide contact information, and complete a short online questionnaire. Once the information provided by the data recipient is received and processed by ACS NSQIP staff, a website address will be submitted electronically to the data recipient. The data recipient will then have 10 days (240 hours) to visit the website and download the data file.

(See Select File Format) down_chunk Set of records to download: 1, 2, 3,...,N Specify which set of records to include in the downloaded file relative to the option selected for the down_count parameter. For example, down_chunk=1 when down_count=10 indicates the first set of 10 study records (i.e., rows 1 to 10 on the Search Results List). For down_chunk=2 when down_count=10, the second set 10 study records (i.e., rows 11 to 20) is downloaded. *Bold text indicates the default setting for each parameter (used if that parameter is missing/not specified) Example: _fields?cond=cancer&down_count=10

To download the "second set" of 10 study records (that is, rows 11 to 20) for the same search as a plain text file, use the following URL: Example: _fields?cond=cancer&down_count=10&down_fmt=plain&down_chunk=2
