Description
Within the NHSD developed DM+D list of codes for Oral Steroids (part of the eligibility criteria for people to receive MABs or antiviral treatment for COVID), a single deprecated SNOMED code is present.
It is not clear if including the deprecated code will pick up eligible people historically. The issue remains unresolved, as per this related thread.
For now this code has been put into its own SNOMED codelist, and a decision on inclusion will need to be made when the analysis is run.

Compare that decision with the separate SNOMED codelist linked in the issue; done means documenting and applying a clear inclusion decision for the analysis.
