MeSH Database
Terms in the database are called
Medical Subject Headings or MeSH.is a “controlled vocabulary list” of more than
26,000 subject headings (26853).
10‐15MeSH are assigned to each article
in PubMed.
The MeSH index of 10‐15 subject headings
is like a keyword abstract of the article.
MeSH are updated annually in December.Farrukh Malik (M Pharm, MPH, PhD ©)
