Is there a way through SQL query of the LOINC tables (core, accessory files, etc.) to identify the original submitter of a LOINC code? If so, in which file and/or table would I find this information?
As an arbitrary example, who made the initial request for LOINC number 55770-2: https://loinc.org/55770-2/.
I’d like to know who had the initial need for registering a test and which was not previously available in LOINC. It also helps me to identify who to go to in case I needed more context behind the intent and use for a specific test.
Thanks!
