To assist content users briefing notes are being provided as changes to content are released. Briefing notes on previous changes may be viewed here.
The content changes for the September 2023 release were made in the area of focal anatomical seizures.
The focal seizure content changes include:
- Eight new concepts e.g. 1287672003 |Frontal lobe epileptic seizure (finding)|
