Allergy to animal

@Bruce Goldberg

  • Proposal for alternate model of Allergy to animal




  • Agreed upon model:

FSN=Allergy to animal x protein (finding)

PT=Allergy to animal x

=== 420134006 |Propensity to adverse reaction (finding)|: { 719722006 |Has realization (attribute)| = 472964009 |Allergic process (qualifier value)|, 246075003 |Causative agent (attribute)| = |Animal protein x (substance)| }

  • Animal x protein (substance) was felt to be the best causative agent for Allergy to animal x (finding) concepts. Allergen x (substance) was thought to be problematic due to a particular substance may not be an allergen in all individuals Whether a substance is an allergen is dependent upon the host response.

  • Belgium and Netherlands to create CRS request to add 20 new Animal protein x (substance) concepts to SNOMED core

  • Feeling among group was that Allergy to animal x dander concepts are not clinically useful as avoidance would be focused on the animal itself rather than a part of the animal and most would not recognize a specific source from which the actual allergen is derived. In addition, the same allergenic protein may be found in several different sources.

  • Allergy to x dander concepts are likely in use because SNOMED does not have Allergy to animal x [protein] (finding) concepts.

  • @Bruce Goldberg to send @Cathy Richardson a request to discuss with CMAG to inactivate Allergy to animal x dander (finding) concepts and replace with new Allergy to animal x [protein] (finding) concepts.

Allergy implementation guide

@Bruce Goldberg , all

  • Plan presentation to member forum 10 November 2020 20:00 UTC Zoom details to follow

  • Due to 2 key members of the implementation guide project not being able to attend today's call and a 3rd dropping off before this topic could be discussed, @Bruce Goldberg will send out a poll for another meeting in the next few weeks prior to the November 10 MF presentation.
