Overdose
This Editorial Guide is used for Education Purposes Only. It is used in the Authoring Courses and Certifications. It is based on the January 2026 Editorial Guide.
Overdose of illicit drug
708079007 |Overdose of illicit drug (disorder)| is modeled without a Causative agent because the term "illicit drug" may have differing local interpretations.
Vaccine-related overdose
Vaccine-related overdose concepts in the Clinical Finding/Disorder hierarchy were inactivated in the January 2020 Release. They were replaced with concepts in the Event hierarchy, see 788094008 |Excessive dose of vaccine administered (event)| and subtypes.
When authoring, determine whether the concept describes an overdose, which is a disorder , or the administration or ingestion of an excessive dose, which is an event.
