Level/Typ	Code	Anzeigename	Beschreibung
0-A	_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.
