Outdated | REPLACED_BY POSSIBLY_REPLACED_BY No suitable replacement identified | The inactivation reason “Outdated Concept” explicitly states that the inactivated concept (A) is an outdated concept that is no longer considered to be clinically acceptable or semantically interoperable internationally. It is possible that the original meaning of the outdated concept could be “REPLACED_BY” concept (B) that is semantically similar to or more general than the inactivated concept for the purposes of data healing and analysis of historical data. However, in some circumstances, there will be no suitable replacement concept and therefore no historical association is provided. | |||
