Template:Cite MeSH

uid can be any of the following different types of MeSH identifiers:

One type is a traditional uid, which should be an 8 digit number. Example: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68011014 is Pneumonia. If you want to find this identifier for a certain item and your URL does not end in an 8-digit-number string, click on a different item in the categories tree on the page and then navigate back to your original page by clicking on it on the categories tree to arrive at a URL containing the proper string. Alternatively, in the "Related information" box on the right, click on "dbGaP Links" or "MedGen" and find the uid from the resulting URL.
Another is the MeSH Unique ID, which can be a "D" or "A" followed by six numbers. Example: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011014 is also Pneumonia. This will be listed on the page.
The last common type is the Tree Number, which should start with a letter and be followed by multiple numbers with included decimal points. This will also be listed on the webpage. See List of MeSH codes to find a list. Example: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/C01.748.610 is also Pneumonia and ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D08.811.913.696.620.682.324 is Connectin.
