Properties

Code Type Description
abstract boolean True if an element is considered 'abstract' - in otherwords, the code is not for use as a real concept

This code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning defines the following codes:

Lvl Code Display Definition abstract
1 type Type General types of reference range. true
2   normal Normal Range Values expected for a normal member of the relevant control population being measured. Typically each results producer such as a laboratory has specific normal ranges and they are usually defined as within two standard deviations from the mean and account for 95.45% of this population.
2   recommended Recommended Range The range that is recommended by a relevant professional body.
2   treatment Treatment Range The range at which treatment would/should be considered.
2   therapeutic Therapeutic Desired Level The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes.
3     pre Pre Therapeutic Desired Level The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately before administration.
3     post Post Therapeutic Desired Level The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately after administration.
1 endocrine Endocrine Endocrine related states that change the expected value. true
2   pre-puberty Pre-Puberty An expected range in an individual prior to puberty.
2   follicular Follicular Stage An expected range in an individual during the follicular stage of the cycle.
2   midcycle MidCycle An expected range in an individual during the midcycle stage of the cycle.
2   luteal Luteal An expected range in an individual during the luteal stage of the cycle.
2   postmenopausal Post-Menopause An expected range in an individual post-menopause.
