Are the “normative answer list” answers available in a downloadable file? For example:

[http://s.details.loinc.org/LOINC/38216-8.html?sections=Simple](http://s.details.loinc.org/LOINC/38216-8.html?sections=Simple)

I haven’t found in the latest LOINC download that data in any of the files. Thanks.

The LOINC answer lists are available for download as part of the “LOINC Panels and Forms File” which is available at [http://loinc.org/downloads](http://loinc.org/downloads). The answer lists are not currently available as a separate file.
