A coding table for the majority of commonly used lab measurements and demands. For a number of analytes, different codes are provided. As such, differences in methodology or sample type can be appreciated and taken care of.
For the majority of codes, the proposed code is a LOINC code. Only for analytes where there are currently no available LOINC codes, or where available LOINC codes do not adequately match the analyte concept, will a proper national code be the preferred code. In those cases, a feed back to Loinc secretariat is foreseen in order to contribute to LOINC improvement and international standardization.
We only provide here a small extract for illustration purpose. The complete table is in elaboration under the managament of FPS Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment and, thus, not yet public.
The version of the table used is specified in the attribute 'SV' of the cd element. In this case, this version number is not the publication number of this site!
