Hi all,

In the archetype openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.symptom.v3.adl there is a CLUSTER 
archetype node with id at0020 with label "Associated symptoms and events".

Can a symptom A have an associated symptom B with onset date before the 
onset date of the symptom A or with a duration exceeding the duration of 
symptom A?

Example:
A patient was diagnosed influenza and suffers from time point 1 to time 
point 3 from chills, from time point 2 to time point 5 from fever and 
from time point 4 to time point 6 from coughing.
Can chills and coughing be associated symptoms of fever?

Or have associated symptoms totally other semantics?

Cheers
Bruno
