Hi@all,

I apologize in advance if this is a trivial question, I’m not very experienced with graphs.

First, I have a hierarchical order of a disease list. Just for example:

1.    Respiratory system disease

1.1.  Asphyxia neonatorum

1.2.  Croup

1.3.  Lower respiratory tract disease

1.4.  Bronchial disease

1.4.1.                    asthma

1.4.2.                    bronchiectasis

1.4.3.                    bronchitis

1.5.  lung disease

1.5.1.                    acute chest syndrome

1.5.2.                    bronchiolitis

1.5.3.                    brown induration

1.6.  interstitial lung disease

1.6.1.                    bronchiolitis obliterans

1.6.2.                    extrinsic allergic alveolitis

1.6.3.                    pneumoconiosis

Next, I have a database with people’s medical records.  For example:

Patient-1:   asthma, bronchiolitis

Patient-2:   asthma, pneumoconiosis

Lastly, when a new patient enters the system. For example:

Patient-to-search:   asthma, brown induration

I want to find the person which is “most similar” in terms of the  diseases hierarchy. (Which is Patient-1). How do I accomplish such task efficiently with the graph tool?

 Thanks,

Dov
