Ranked by documentation volume, not by disease frequency. Click a row to open the underlying evidence with its source. 22 of 35 rows carry a label outside the reference vocabulary: they are accurate and remain visible, flagged in amber — hiding them would erase the record of what is still to be normalised.
A row without a note means a canonical form was produced for that label — not that it belongs to the reference vocabulary. Across the corpus, 10,158 disease observations out of 48,975 carry a label absent from the 78 reference concepts, i.e. 21%: the same malaria may appear under several spellings.
