NuclearPositivityModel - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for oncology-NuclearPositivity-model.

oncology-NuclearPositivity-model
Definition

The percentage of cells that test (stain) positive for the presence of a receptor.

We are seeking feedback on whether nuclear positivity should be an exact percentage or a range of percentages. As currently defined, an exact nuclear positivity could be represented by a zero-width range, where the lower and upper bounds would be the same number.

oncology-NuclearPositivity-model.value
Definition

Range representing the percentage of cells that test (stain) positive for the presence of a receptor.

We are seeking feedback on whether nuclear positivity should be an exact percentage or a range of percentages. As currently defined, an exact nuclear positivity could be represented by a zero-width range, where the lower and upper bounds would be the same number.

oncology-NuclearPositivity-model.exceptionValue
Definition

Reason that a value associated with a test or other finding is missing.

CIMI Alignment: This attribute corresponds to EvaluationResultTopic.exceptionValue, but has been moved from topic to context because missing values are only relevant when they should be recorded, but are not. The value set binding extends the set of FHIR's required data absent values, with additional concepts from CIMI.

Typehttp://hl7.org/fhir/us/breastcancer/StructureDefinition/cimi-ExceptionValue-model
oncology-NuclearPositivity-model.interpretation
Definition

A clinical interpretation of a finding.

CIMI Alignment: The value set binding has been chosen to align with FHIR. (Note: it is not clear if Interpretation belongs in FindingTopic, rather than a context class, but that is how CIMI has modeled it.)

Control0..1
Typehttp://hl7.org/fhir/us/breastcancer/StructureDefinition/cimi-Interpretation-model
oncology-NuclearPositivity-model.referenceRange
Definition

The usual or acceptable range for a test result.
