Official URL: http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/StructureDefinition/RTO-PQ-PQ Version: 2.0.1-sd
Active as of 2025-09-17 Computable Name: RTO_PQ_PQ

A quantity constructed as the quotient of a numerator quantity divided by a denominator quantity. Common factors in the numerator and denominator are not automatically cancelled out. The data type supports titers (e.g., "1:128") and other quantities produced by laboratories that truly represent ratios. Ratios are not simply "structured numerics", particularly blood pressure measurements (e.g. "120/60") are not ratios. In many cases the should be used instead of the .
