This concept is used in only one value set from the Value Set Authority Center. More over, the value set in which it is used is a broad "Problem" value set defined as

• concept descendantOf ("404684003:Clinical finding (finding)")

• OR

• concept descendantOf ("243796009:Situation with explicit contex...")

This constitutes at best weak evidence of use, because there is no evidence of use in a specific context (i.e., related either allergy or to parenteral nutrition).

Not in use in any reference set we are responsible for, or any other use that we know of.

This concept looks like a grouper rather than anything that would be recorded in the medical record. Likely, if we were asked for advice on the use of this concept by our users we would give a negative recommendation, of course depending on the specifics on the use case.

We don't have any visibility of this specific concept being used. I would expect it to already be encompassed by the inactivation of allergy to "role groupers" concdepts, as described in Content Improvements in the Substance and Product Hierarchies - 2020-Feb-20

This concept has some usage, but very, very low level (e.g. 40 instances in the last year).
