{"doi":"10.1111/jdv.20055","title":"International Skin Imaging Collaboration‐Designated Diagnoses (ISIC‐DX): Consensus terminology for lesion diagnostic labeling","abstract":"BACKGROUND: A common terminology for diagnosis is critically important for clinical communication, education, research and artificial intelligence. Prevailing lexicons are limited in fully representing skin neoplasms. OBJECTIVES: To achieve expert consensus on diagnostic terms for skin neoplasms and their hierarchical mapping. METHODS: Diagnostic terms were extracted from textbooks, publications and extant diagnostic codes. Terms were hierarchically mapped to super-categories (e.g. 'benign') and cellular/tissue-differentiation categories (e.g. 'melanocytic'), and appended with pertinent-modifiers and synonyms. These terms were evaluated using a modified-Delphi consensus approach. Experts from the International-Skin-Imaging-Collaboration (ISIC) were surveyed on agreement with terms and their hierarchical mapping; they could suggest modifying, deleting or adding terms. Consensus threshold was >75% for the initial rounds and >50% for the final round. RESULTS: Eighteen experts completed all Delphi rounds. Of 379 terms, 356 (94%) reached consensus in round one. Eleven of 226 (5%) benign-category terms, 6/140 (4%) malignant-category terms and 6/13 (46%) indeterminate-category terms did not reach initial agreement. Following three rounds, final consensus consisted of 362 terms mapped to 3 super-categories and 41 cellular/tissue-differentiation categories. CONCLUSIONS: We have created, agreed upon, and made public a taxonomy for skin neoplasms and their hierarchical mapping. Further study will be needed to evaluate the utility and completeness of the lexicon.","journal":"Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology","year":2024,"id":465492,"datarank":0.2980017409211349,"base_score":1.6094379124341003,"endowment":1.6094379124341003,"self_citation_contribution":0.24141568686511508,"citation_network_contribution":0.05658605405601983,"self_endowment_contribution":0.24141568686511508,"citer_contribution":0.05658605405601983,"corpus_percentile":44.75129573760346,"corpus_rank":7143,"citation_count":4,"citer_count":2,"citers_with_citation_signal":1,"citers_with_endowment":1,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":true,"is_dataset_confidence":0.7785,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":366931,"name":"Konstantinos Liopyris","orcid":"0000-0001-9566-8238","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":697116,"name":"Jochen Weber","orcid":"0000-0002-2397-4954","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":376322,"name":"Raymond L.
