Aspirin is an acceptable Antithrombotic for Stroke, as long as it is chewing gum, tablet, pill etc. Rectal suppository is not accepted. Can you please explain why this route or form of administration is not allowed?

      Thank you for your issue. For STK-5/ CMS72v4 (2016 reporting year) and STK-2/ CMS104v4 (2016 reporting), you are correct, the value set for antithrombotic therapy (2.16.840.1.113883.3.117.1.7.1.201) is missing RxNorm codes for rectal forms of aspirin. This issue was corrected in the 2016 Annual Updates cycle, for STK-5/ CMS72v5 (2017 reporting) and STK-2/ CMS104v5 (2017 reporting), and now contain the semantic clinical drug codes for rectal aspirin
