Description

One of the cohorts within the NHSD COVID-19 treatment cohort eligibility criteria is for ppl receiving immunosuppressant drugs. While this list is labelled as all DM+D codes, three codes appear to actually be deprecated SNOMED codes.

These have been split out from the DM+D codelist into a SNOMED codelist.

A decision has not been made yet on how to treat deprecate codes which appear in these code lists, which has occurred in the Oral Steroids codelist as well and is documented in the issue here.
