Hi Pekka! VAS is a quantification of the severity of a symptom, which could be pain or other symptoms. When the international Symptom/Sign archetype was reviewed and published, the element “Severity rating” was included to cater for VAS or other severity scales. For now, there are no plans to make a specific archetype for pain in the international space, as the generic Symptom/Sign archetype should support all generic requirements. The former (draft) Pain specialisation of the (draft) Symptom archetype was rejected for this reason.

Searching suggested that there used to be a CLUSTER.Symptom-pain [Pain symptom] archetype in the international CKM. I could only find it from the NEHTA CKM but not from the international one. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, -Pekka
