Can anyone tell me how to express a numeric value with Snomed? Take a simple example of "body temperature = 37.7 degC".

I have been scouring the user guidance and compositional grammar / expression constraint documents and have learned about refining concepts with attribute-value pairs but I'm not sure this will work for the example above and similar.

I'm not sure where to put the actual value ("37.5")...is this anywhere close:

386725007|body temperature|;(83568003|Has value (qualifier value)|=37.5,767524001|unit of measure|=258710007|Degrees Celsius (qualifier value)|)

Also, is there an online tool that can validate Snomed expressions?

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks Jo,

I've logged my query with them and will update here once I get a response.

In the meantime, I think I may have come closer to an answer through my own research anyway. It seems that "Concepts to describe numeric values have been added as descendants of  260299005 |Number (qualifier value)| (see https://confluence.ihtsdotools.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=71172362). I guess that these, paired with an appropriate attribute, are intended to facilitate the refinement of concepts like body temperature. Like so:

386725007 | Body temperature (observable entity) |:246508008 | Temperature (attribute) |=732706002 | 37.5 (qualifier value) |,246514001 | Units (attribute) |=258710007 | Degrees Celsius (qualifier value) |

However, it does seem a bit clunky to have concepts for all imaginable numbers! Even worse though is that some numbers have concepts while some do not. If I were recording a temperature of 37.4 I could use 732705003 | 37.4 (qualifier value) | but there is no concept for, say,  37.6 or 41 or various other random examples.
