Brief summary of the request
Synonym request due to renaming in some international health services
Description of the addition or change
Hi team, the US Institute of Medicine renamed CFS/ME in 2015. While CFS/ME will likely remain the terms used within the UK, a lack of this synonym could create difficulties in correctly identifying diagnoses in records crossing borders etc. The addition of the term would also allow UK records to accurately reflect a diagnosis originally made in the USA while still maintaining data quality for UK identification of CFS in health records/databases etc. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2815%2960270-7/fulltext https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001244.htm
