      Thank you for your inquiry. During the 2017 annual updates we removed SNOMED code 55355000 from the ‘Competing Conditions for Respiratory Conditions’ value set (OID: 2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.102.12.1017). SNOMED code is now only part of the ‘Upper Respiratory Infection’ value set (OID: 2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.102.12.1022).
