MeSH Vocabulary


Overview


The MeSH vocabulary includes different types of terms:

  1. Main Headings (Descriptors)
  2. Subheadings (Qualifiers)
  3. Supplementary Concept Records (SCRs)
  4. Publication Characteristics (Publication Types)

We’ll look at the PubMed record for "Exceptional early blood pressure control rates: the ACCOMPLISH trial" to show examples of each of these types.
