_ObservationInterpretationChange
|
ObservationInterpretationChange
|
Change of quantity and/or severity. At most one of B or W and one of U or D allowed.
|
1-L
|
B
|
better
|
Better (of severity or nominal observations)
|
1-L
|
D
|
decreased
|
Significant change down (quantitative observations, does not imply B or W)
|
1-L
|
U
|
increased
|
Significant change up (quantitative observations, does not imply B or W)
|
1-L
|
W
|
worse
|
Worse (of severity or nominal observations)
|
0-A
|
_ObservationInterpretationExceptions
|
ObservationInterpretationExceptions
|
Technical exceptions. At most one allowed. Does not imply normality or severity.
|
1-L
|
<
|
low off scale
|
Below absolute low-off instrument scale. This is statement depending on the instrument, logically does not imply LL or L (e.g., if the instrument is inadequate). If an off-scale value is also low or critically low one must also report L and LL respectively.
|
1-L
|
>
|
high off scale
|
Above absolute high-off instrument scale. This is statement depending on the instrument, logically does not imply LL or L (e.g., if the instrument is inadequate). If an off-scale value is also high or critically high one must also report H and HH respectively.
|
0-A
|
_ObservationInterpretationNormality
|
ObservationInterpretationNormality
|
Normality, Abnormality, Alert. Concepts in this category are mutually exclusive, i.e., at most one is allowed.
|
1-S
|
A
|
Abnormal
|
Abnormal (for nominal observations, all service types)
|
2-S
|
AA
|
Abnormal alert
|
Abnormal alert (for nominal observations and all service types)
|
3-L
|
HH
|
High alert
|
Above upper alert threshold (for quantitative observations)
|
3-L
|
LL
|
Low alert
|
Below lower alert threshold (for quantitative observations)
|
2-S
|
H
|
High
|
Above high normal (for quantitative observations)
|
3-L
|
HH
|
High alert
|
Above upper alert threshold (for quantitative observations)
|
2-S
|
L
|
Low
|
Below low normal (for quantitative observations)
|
3-L
|
LL
|
Low alert
|
Below lower alert threshold (for quantitative observations)
|
1-L
|
N
|
Normal
|
Normal (for all service types)
|
0-A
|
_ObservationInterpretationSusceptibility
|
ObservationInterpretationSusceptibility
|
Microbiology: interpretations of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. At most one allowed.
|
1-L
|
I
|
intermediate
|
Intermediate
|
1-L
|
MS
|
moderately susceptible
|
Moderately susceptible
|
1-L

R
|
resistent
|
Resistent
|
1-L
|
S
|
susceptible
|
Susceptible
|
1-L
|
VS
|
very susceptible
|
Very susceptible
|
0-S
|
EX
|
outside threshold
|
Definition:The observation/test result is interpreted as being outside the inclusion range for a particular protocol within which the result is being reported. Example:A positive result on a Hepatitis screening test.
|
1-L
|
HX
|
above high threshold
|
Definition:The numeric observation/test result is interpreted as being above the high threshold value for a particular protocol within which the result is being reported. Example:An ALT (SGOT) result above a protocol-defined threshold value of 2.5 times the upper limit of normal based on the subject's sex and age.
|
1-L
|
LX
|
below low threshold
|
Definition:The numeric observation/test result is interpreted as being below the low threshold value for a particular protocol within which the result is being reported. Example:A Total White Blood Cell Count falling below a protocol-defined threshold value of 3000/mm^3
|
0-A
|
_GeneticObservationInterpretation
|
GeneticObservationInterpretation
|
Codes that specify interpretation of genetic analysis, such as "positive", "negative", "carrier", "responsive", etc.
|
1-L
|
Carrier
|
Carrier
|
Description: The patient is considered as carrier based on the testing results. A carrier is an individual who carries an altered form of a gene which can lead to having a child or offspring in future generations with a genetic disorder.
|
0-A
|
ObservationInterpretationDetection
|
ObservationInterpretationDetection
|
Description: The specializations of this concept indicate the presence or absence of an analyte in a test or of a sign in a clinical observation. In keeping with laboratory data processing practice, these codes provide a categorical interpretation of the "meaning" of the quantitative value for the same observation.
|
1-L
|
IND
|
Indeterminate
|
Description: The value of this observation does not allow interpretation as to whether or not the analyte or sign in question is present.
|
1-L
|
NEG
|
Negative
|
Description: The value of this observation is interpreted as showing that the analyte or sign in question is not present.
|
1-L
|
POS
|
Positive
|
Description: he value of this observation is interpreted as showing that the analyte or sign in question is present.
