Expand Text
Expand medical abbreviations in text.
Recognizes common medical abbreviations like:
- DM2 → diabetes mellitus type 2
- w/ → with
- CKD → chronic kidney disease
- HTN → hypertension
- CHF → congestive heart failure
- COPD → chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Also provides hints for alphabetic index navigation (main_term_hint, subterm_hints) which are useful for subsequent code lookups.
Example:
{"text": "DM2 w/ CKD stage 3"}
Response:
{
"expanded_text": "diabetes mellitus type 2 with chronic kidney disease stage 3",
"expansions": [
{"original": "DM2", "expanded": "diabetes mellitus type 2", ...},
{"original": "w/", "expanded": "with", ...},
{"original": "CKD", "expanded": "chronic kidney disease", ...}
]
}
Free-tier keys are limited to 500 characters of input; Pro and Enterprise keys may send the full 10,000. Over the limit returns 413. This endpoint normalizes shorthand before an index lookup — it is not intended for whole clinical notes.
