Logical Definition (CLD)

  • Include these codes as defined in http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning version 📦1.0.1
    CodeDisplayDefinition
    normalNormal RangeValues 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.
    recommendedRecommended RangeThe range that is recommended by a relevant professional body.
    treatmentTreatment RangeThe range at which treatment would/should be considered.
    therapeuticTherapeutic Desired LevelThe optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes.
    pre-pubertyPre-PubertyAn expected range in an individual prior to puberty.
    follicularFollicular StageAn expected range in an individual during the follicular stage of the cycle.
    midcycleMidCycleAn expected range in an individual during the midcycle stage of the cycle.
    lutealLutealAn expected range in an individual during the luteal stage of the cycle.
    postmenopausalPost-MenopauseAn expected range in an individual post-menopause.
    prePre Therapeutic Desired LevelThe optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately before administration.
    postPost Therapeutic Desired LevelThe optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately after administration.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
