Definitions for oncology-NuclearPleomorphismScore-model.
| oncology-NuclearPleomorphismScore-model | |
| Definition | The degree of nuclear pleomorphism (variability of nuclei) in breast carcinoma is one component of the Nottingham histologic grade, which is a prognostic indicator for patients with breast carcinoma. Increasing degrees of pleomorphism are associated with increasingly aggressive cancers. |
| Control | 0..* |
| oncology-NuclearPleomorphismScore-model.value | |
| Definition | Code representing the degree of nuclear pleomorphism (variability of nuclei) in breast carcinoma is one component of the Nottingham histologic grade, which is a prognostic indicator for patients with breast carcinoma. Increasing degrees of pleomorphism are associated with increasingly aggressive cancers. |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from http://loinc.org/vs/LL4382-9 |
| Type | Coding |
| oncology-NuclearPleomorphismScore-model.topicCode | |
| Definition | The concept representing the finding or action that is the topic of the statement. For action topics, the TopicCode represents the action being described. For findings, the TopicCode represents the 'question' or property being investigated. For evaluation result findings, the TopicCode contains a concept for an observable entity, such as systolic blood pressure. For assertion findings, the TopicCode contains a code representing the condition, allergy, or other item being asserted. In all cases, the TopicCode describes the topic independent of the context of the action or the finding. |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Type | Coding |
| oncology-NuclearPleomorphismScore-model.exceptionValue | |
| Definition | Reason that a value associated with a test or other finding is missing. |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from DataAbsentReason; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable |
| Type | Coding |
| oncology-NuclearPleomorphismScore-model.interpretation | |
| Definition | A clinical interpretation of a finding (applies to both assertions and observation). |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from Observation Interpretation Codes; other codes may be used where these codes are not suitable |
| Type | Coding |
| oncology-NuclearPleomorphismScore-model.referenceRange | |
| Definition | The usual or acceptable range for a test result. |
