Procedure

Review 48537004 |Bypass graft (procedure)| 

A review of the 48537004 |Bypass graft (procedure)| hierarchy is in progress, the focus is on:

• Improving consistency of descriptions.

• Improving definitions for different types of concepts in the hierarchy (bypass vs shunt)

• Correct use of the term “graft” within the descriptions.

• Correct modeling of 260686004 |Method (attribute)| in the hierarchy.

• Review of the need for 360021005 |Bypass - action (qualifier value)| and 424208002 |Shunt - action (qualifier value)|in the model and testing of 245854003 |Proximal anastomosis (qualifier value)| and 245855002 |Distal anastomosis (qualifier value)| as new 260686004 |Method (attribute)| values in the hierarchy.

• Review for a consistent and appropriate usage of 425362007 |Surgical insertion - action (qualifier value)|and 129407005 |Grafting - action (qualifier value) in the model.

• Review for re-classification of 129376004 |Construction - action (qualifier value)| as a direct subtype of 129284003 |Surgical action (qualifier value)|.

• Given the complexity of some concepts in the hierarchy, potential duplicate, erroneous, or outdated concepts will be identified.

Q3 2026 International Release

Procedure

Review of 129376004 |Construction - action (qualifier value)|

129376004 |Construction - action (qualifier value)| is a subtype of 257903006 |Repair - action (qualifier value) and sibling of 129377008 |Reconstruction - action (qualifier value)|.

Because some concepts modeled with 129376004 |Construction - action (qualifier value)| as target value concept for 260686004 |Method (attribute)| may not be considered a reparative procedure, a review of the 129376004 |Construction - action (qualifier value) and 410614008 |Construction (procedure)| hierarchies is being undertaken.

Expected outcomes may be the classification of 129376004 |Construction - action (qualifier value)| directly under 129284003 |Surgical action (qualifier value)| and the creation of new actions that better define the differences between reparative and construction procedures.

Association Relationships File

Additional Relationships

The new "additional relationships" take the same form as the inferred relationships and can be stored in the same format in the RF2 package. Modeling Advisory Group (MAG) recommends that extensions can use the existing relationship files or create new relationship files for them. By default, there is a single file for each component (1 concept file, 1 relationships file, 1 simple refset file, etc.). Edition and extension publishers can decide to split the content of any of those files for business reasons while following the naming convention. The new attributes should be placed under 1295449009 |Additional relationship attribute (attribute)|. The concept 900000000000227009 |Additional relationship (core metadata concept)| should be assigned to characteristicTypeId in the relationship files.

Changes to Hierarchy 198609003|Complication of pregnancy, childbirth and/or puerperium (disorder)|

A briefing note documenting the proposed changes for the hierarchy 198609003|Complication of pregnancy, childbirth and/or puerperium (disorder)| and descendants was shared with key stakeholders in May 2025. Feedback was received from a wide range of stakeholders.

The model for 198609003|Complication of pregnancy, childbirth and/or puerperium (disorder)| and subtypes will be updated in the international edition of SNOMED CT. The model will employ the attribute 246454002 |Occurrence (attribute)| with a value of 307159006|Pregnancy time period (qualifier value)| or a subtype. This work will aim to clarify the meaning of existing content by modeling concepts with either a maternal or fetal temporal period (and rarely both maternal and fetal).

The work will also inactivate a small number of supertype concepts such as 198609003|Complication of pregnancy, childbirth and/or puerperium (disorder)| and 362972006 |Disorder of labor / delivery (disorder)|) and utilize semantically clearer alternatives for example 1269083008 |Fetal intrapartum disorder and/or maternal disorder during intrapartum period| and 1269075002 |Maternal disorder during intrapartum period|.

Clinical Finding and Procedure

Planned Inactivation of Subtypes of 367570001|Fetal part (body structure)

 The concept model for fetal procedures and findings has been updated in the international edition of SNOMED CT. The model employs the attribute 246454002 |Occurrence (attribute)| with the value 303112003 |Fetal period (qualifier value)| and its subconcepts for modeling purposes. Finding and procedure sites have been revised to utilize canonical or morphological structures (excluding unique fetal structures) such as persistent or malformed structures. For example, concepts modeled with site 'fetal head structure' have had site replaced by 'head structure' in combination with 'fetal period' occurrence.

The 106 descendants of 367570001|Fetal part (body structure)| are currently under review. Non-unique fetal parts, such as ‘fetal head’, will be inactivated from the anatomy hierarchy. A briefing note will be published before the inactivation of anatomy content. National extensions should update the model for fetal findings and procedures to ensure consistent classification. If any subconcepts of 367570001|Fetal part (body structure)| are required for other use cases, please submit this information to info@snomed.org

Review of 409793007|Antimicrobial resistant bacteria (organism)| and Descendants

409793007|Antimicrobial resistant bacteria (organism)| and descendants will be reviewed and content corrections made as appropriate.  The review will focus on:

• Aligning taxonomic lineages of resistant bacteria with those of bacterial (only) portions of the organisms hierarchy. Missing ranks including (and limited to) order, family, genus, species will be added as necessary.  Example:

  • The lineage of beta-lactam resistant Escherichia coli, beta-lactam resistant Escherichia (genus), beta-lactam-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (family), beta-lactam-resistant Enterobacterales (order).  

• Aligning organisms that are said to be resistant with corresponding antimicrobial substances hierarchy.  Example: 

  • Ampicillin < penicillin < beta-lactam

• Making the grammar and description style consistent throughout the hierarchy and compliant with the editorial style guide. The pattern “antimicrobial-resistant organism” will be maintained.  The antimicrobials themselves may be hyphenated.  

  • Examples: Ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli

Proposed Update for 91302008 |Sepsis (disorder)| and Descendants

A review of “sepsis caused by organism” concepts is underway. Please see this updated briefing note.

The proposed changes include:

• Inactivation and replacement of 80 concepts where significant updates to the FSN are required. Concepts will be inactivated with the reason “Outdated” and linked to replacement concepts using the historical association “Replaced by”.

• Replacement of the use of 246075003 |Causative agent (attribute)| with 42752001 |Due to (attribute)| linked to <<40733004 |Infectious disease (disorder)|. This reflects the current understanding that sepsis results from a dysregulated host response to infection, rather than direct organ dysfunction caused by the infectious organism itself.

• Updated description patterns for replacement concepts using the format: “Sepsis due to infection caused by X organism”.

• Review and inactivation of non-synonymous descriptions, where required.

These changes are expected to improve subtype classification consistency, particularly for bacterial and viral sepsis concepts, while aligning terminology content with current clinical guidance.

Morphologic Abnormality

Disorder

Use of ‘Tumor’ in Morphology and Disorder Concepts

Work is underway to review and address inconsistencies in the use of the term ‘tumor’ in SNOMED CT disorder concepts. 
The term tumor may refer to any mass (neoplastic or non-neoplastic); therefore, neoplasm is preferred, while tumor is acceptable as a synonym. Initial analysis has identified variation in usage. Some terms appropriately reflect histologic classifications (e.g. neuroendocrine tumors aligned with WHO Blue Books), while others appear to represent legacy, outdated, or inconsistent naming.
450 disorder concepts with tumor in their FSN are being examined and will be updated where appropriate. The work is being undertaken for this Content Tracker.

Clinical Finding

Revision of Requested, Done, Received, Planned Concepts

Work is underway to address inconsistent modelling of request- and workflow-related content currently represented under Clinical finding. Concepts representing requested procedures (e.g. domiciliary visit requested) are valid but will be aligned to the Situation with explicit context hierarchy. In contrast, concepts representing event status (e.g. done, received) reflect outdated naming patterns that are no longer accepted, and along with report status concepts represent administrative workflow rather than clinical meaning and will be inactivated.

• X visit done/received/planned (n=29): Inactivated (administrative workflow / event status)

• X visit requested (n=26): Moved to Situation with explicit context hierarchy, with supporting procedure concepts created

• X report status (n=50): Inactivated (administrative workflow content)

This work improves alignment with editorial policy and ensures appropriate separation of clinical meaning from administrative processes.

Observable entity concepts from the LOINC Ontology will be promoted to the International Release of SNOMED CT when needed to define clinical findings or when meeting the guidelines outlined in “Appendix C: Process for Addition of Observable Entity Content” of the Customer Guidance for Requesting Changes to SNOMED CT.

• An annotation with an attribution will be added to these concepts. The format has the name of the originating organization and a canonical representation of the URI: “Regenstrief Institute: http://loinc.org/code”. Example: Regenstrief Institute: http://loinc.org/88462-7 .

• Descriptions originating from LOINC, e.g., LOINC long common name, will be removed during the promotion. The PT will be updated from the LOINC long common name to a SNOMED CT compliant description.

Procedure

Review 423827005 |Endoscopy (procedure)|

A review of the 423827005 |Endoscopy (procedure)| hierarchy is ongoing. Changes will reflect the agreements made within the Editorial Advisory Group:

1. Consistent modeling of 423827005 |Endoscopy (procedure)| with the 260686004 |Method (attribute)| = 129433002 |Inspection - action (qualifier value)| AND 424226004 |Using device (attribute)| = << 37270008 |Endoscope, device (physical object)|

2. Consistent modeling of 363687006 |Endoscopic procedure (procedure)| using a second role group when a concurrent procedure is performed beyond the endoscopic inspection of a body structure.

3. Consistent use of the 425391005 |Using access device (attribute)| exclusively for endoluminal endoscopies where the endoscope is the device granting access to perform a secondary action. 425391005 |Using access device (attribute)| will be retired from intracavitary endoscopies, where the endoscope is not the direct device granting access to perform a secondary action.

4. Changes to the 387713003 |Surgical procedure (procedure)| GCI axiom aimed to ensure the subsumption of all intracavitary endoscopies under Surgical procedure. The GCI axiom will be modeled with the 424226004 |Using device (attribute)| = << 312032003 |Body cavity endoscope (physical object)|. This change will make the use of an incision role group to model intracavitary endoscopies unnecessary. The incision role group will be removed from the intracavitary endoscopies model.

5. Consistent use of the different types of 37270008 |Endoscope, device (physical object)| through the hierarchy. Specific endoscopes will be used following the FSN terming or when the procedure requires a specialized endoscope. i.e. when the FSN states: Endoscopic X (procedure), the broad 37270008 |Endoscope, device (physical object)| will be used. In the cases where a specific endoscope or procedure is stated, e.g. Colonoscopic X (procedure) or X using Y endoscope (procedure), the specific endoscope device will be used. If a procedure is known to be performed using a specific endoscope, the descriptions will be changed to align with that device and model with the specific scope.

6. The 116688005 |Procedure approach (attribute)| will be used according to the FSN terming following the general principle that the procedure approach attribute will not be used when the procedure is performed through the usual natural orifice, as this information is already implied in the description. However, the attribute will be included when the approach deviates from the norm or has specific clinical significance.

7. Normalization of Proximal Primitive Parents.

Review 46742003 |Skin ulcer (disorder) and Descendants

Based on a member inquiry and a subsequent review of subtypes of 46742003 |Skin ulcer (disorder)|, modeling inconsistency has been identified in the assignment of finding sites to ulcer concepts on external body surfaces i.e.. skin-bearing parts of the body.

This affects over 800 concepts and requires a coordinated editorial decision before remediation can proceed. The work item addressed inconsistencies in modeling ulcer finding sites, particularly whether ulcers on skin-bearing regions should be classified as "Ulcer of X" or "Ulcer of skin of X," focusing on standardizing terminology and structure.

Deprecation

Notice of Deprecation - Concept Non Current Indicators

Concept Non Current (CNC) indicators will be deprecated in the January 2026 International Edition of SNOMED CT. The plan is to stop adding these indicators to active descriptions when the concept they are attached to is made inactive. Additionally, all currently active CNC indicators will be made inactive. They will be left in place as inactive components. This deprecation is not expected to have any impact on existing SNOMED CT implementations but will instead simplify the product and reduce associated maintenance costs.

2. 363698007 |Finding site (attribute)| with value 10200004 |Liver structure (body structure)| and 116676008 |Associated morphology (attribute)| with value of 57977008 |Chronic fibrosis (morphologic abnormality)|.

A new concept "Cirrhosis (morphologic abnormality)" will be created as a subtype of 64770007 |Nodular regeneration (morphologic abnormality) and 57977008 |Chronic fibrosis (morphologic abnormality)|.

This new concept will be used to remodel these disorder concepts, resulting in only one role group:

363698007 |Finding site (attribute)| with value 10200004 |Liver structure (body structure)| and 116676008 |Associated morphology (attribute)| with value new concept|Cirrhosis (morphologic abnormality).

Procedure

Change to Angiography Procedure Hierarchy

As part of ongoing quality improvement work within the angiography procedure hierarchy, the concept 446030004 | Angiography using contrast (procedure) |has been reviewed and will be corrected.

The FSN of this concept does not specify arterial or venous angiography. However, the concept includes the synonym “Arteriography”, and procedure site 51114001 | Arterial structure (body structure) which is incorrect.

The modeling of 446030004 | Angiography using contrast (procedure) | will be updated to the more general 59820001 | Blood vessel structure (body structure) | to accurately reflect the FSN. The synonym “Arteriography” will be inactivated from this concept. A new arterial-specific concept will be added - Angiography of artery using contrast (procedure), to provide an explicit parent for arterial angiography procedures.

As a result of these changes, 446030004 | Angiography using contrast (procedure) | will subsumes a broader set of angiography procedures (increase from 599 to 1065 descendants). The new concept - Angiography of artery using contrast (procedure) | will subsume 599 arterial angiography procedures previously inferred under the general concept.

This change clarifies the distinction between angiography and arterial-specific angiography and supports more accurate querying and analytics.

These concepts are clinical findings and align with the editorial guide i.e. normal/abnormal observations, judgments, or assessments of patients. A finding site will be added to the concepts where appropriate (and not currently stated) so that the concepts classify as a subtype of the ‘finding of X anatomic structure’ concept where published.

For example

• 441914009 |Imaging of head abnormal (finding)|

• A finding site of 69536005 |Head structure (body structure)| will be added to classify as a subtype of 406122000 |Head finding (finding)|.

This will improve consistency and subsumption of the content as each concept will classify under the appropriate ‘Finding of body structure X’ parent where one is published. This work is being undertaken to complete content tracker IHTSDO-101.

Clinical finding

Inactivation of 86569001 |Postpartum state (finding)| and Subtypes

Concepts representing postpartum days lack a universally accepted definition that applies across all jurisdictions.  86569001|Postpartum state (finding)| and subtypes referring to days (e.g. 30118000|Postpartum period, 1 day (finding)|) will be inactivated and will be replaced with concepts that specify the time in hours.

The following concepts will also be inactivated:

16538005|Early postpartum state (finding)|

42814007|Mid postpartum state (finding)|

56026007|Late postpartum state (finding)|

The meaning of these concepts varies based on the jurisdiction and context, often depending on whether a calendar-day or an elapsed-time convention is employed. For instance, "Day one" is subject to different interpretations; while the most common clinical understanding is the first 24 hours after birth, some settings or jurisdictions use "Postpartum Day 0" when the birth occurs later in the calendar day.
