ShortSex Assigned at Birth
Comments

A person's sex can change over the course of their lifetime. The value in sex assigned at birth may not match a person’s gender or the sex recorded on their birth certificate or values in observations taken later in life that are the result of a specific measurement e.g. gonadal, ductal or phenotypic.

    Definition

    The type or category of sex or gender that is recorded is sex assigned at birth.

    ShortSNOMED Sex Assigned at Birth
    Comments

    Because the recorded sex or gender concept exists primarily as means to exchange sex and gender data concepts that are known NOT to represent a gender identity, sex parameter for clinical use, or attributes related to sexuality, the type is used to identify what type of concept the recorded sex or gender concept is.
