Used to reference a specific article.

  clinical-outcomes-observedhttp://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-codeObserved outcomes are clinical outcomes

Used to denote a focus on clinical outcomes, ie evidence variable in role of outcome (measured variable) as observed is considered a "clinical outcome" (patient-important outcome such as mortality, symptoms, function or quality of life).

  exposurehttp://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-codeExposure

The exposure of interest, such as an intervention.

  comparatorhttp://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-codeComparator

The comparator (intervention or control state) of interest.

  outcomehttp://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-codeOutcome

the outcome of interest.

  medication-exposureshttp://hl7.org/fhir/focus-characteristic-codeMedication exposures

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LvlA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
DisplayThe 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
