SNOMED CT as the clinical terminology for the representation of the clinical care of the newborn infant.
Clinically relevant concepts of specialized clinical domains may not yet have been represented in SNOMED CT(R).

There was complete representation for 86.4% of terms drawn from the categories of diagnosis, intervention, drug or observation. There was partial representation for 10.2% and no representation for 3.4% of the terms.
