Keyword Help

Timely Data Resources has created and continues to maintain over 5,000 keywords to help you better target your search needs.

The best way to start a search is to select the keyword search option. These keywords have been designed by TDR to help you find the disease, procedure, country, symptom or health issue that you are interested in.

Type a word or partial word in the criteria box and click "Search for Keywords". A list of all keywords containing your search term will appear onscreen. Select your keyword from the list and either click "Search the IPD" or repeat the “Search for Keywords” step to add a second or third keyword to your search.

Using truncated keywords can help you find the exact keyword you are looking for. For example, using "diab" when looking for data on diabetes will give you our complete list of diabetes keywords, including "diabetic neuropathy" as well as “gestational diabetes”.

Note: Keywords are assigned specifically to Article Reviews. In addition to the matching Article Reviews, the results of a keyword search include the epidemiological data (displayed in green) pertaining to the entire ICD code of each matching Article Review. This data is included as a convenience but is not directly associated with the keyword criteria.
