| - | **Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC)** is a standardized coding system for laboratory and clinical tests, procedures, observations, surveys, and corresponding results. | + | Thank you for visiting the wiki! This page has moved to https://github.com/OHDSI/Vocabulary-v5.0/wiki/Vocab.-LOINC |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Sources ==== | + | |
| - | All LOINC source information is obtained from the following: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 1. [[https://loinc.org/downloads/|LOINC Website]] that is supported by the Regenstrief Institute: | + | |
| - | * LOINC Table Core (Observations and Measurements) | + | |
| - | * LOINC Answers | + | |
| - | * LOINC Multiaxial Hierarchy | + | |
| - | * LOINC Document Ontology | + | |
| - | * LOINC Panels and Forms | + | |
| - | * LOINC Groups | + | |
| - | * LOINC to SNOMED mapping | + | |
| - | * LOINC Replacement Mapping | + | |
| - | 2. [[https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/mapping_projects/loinc_to_cpt_map.html|The National Library of Medicine (NLM) Website]]: | + | |
| - | * LOINC To CPT Mapping | + | |
| - | 3. [[https://loinc.org/file-access/download-id/9031/|LOINC Users' Guide]]: | + | |
| - | * Manual table of LOINC Classes | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Concept Names ==== | + | |
| - | * Values of a “**long_common_name**” field are considered to be preferred terms for concept names. | + | |
| - | * Values of “**consumer_name**”, “**shortname**” and “**relatednames2**” fields reside in the concept synonym table as synonyms. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Standard Concepts ==== | + | |
| - | ^Source Concept Type^Standard Concept^ | + | |

| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Domains and Concept Classes ==== | + | |
| - | LOINC Concepts are located in such domains as “Observation”, “Measurement”, or “Meas Value”. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Previously all concepts with a LOINC property of “**classtype**” with values “**1**” and “**2**” were considered to be Measurements. However, an initial analysis of such extended LOINC properties as “**property**”, **system**”, “**scale_type**”, “**class**”, “**method_typ**”, “**definitiondescription**” and “**survey_quest_text**” revealed that the LOINC domain distribution can be more accurate if used the combinations of LOINC properties. In turn, the Concept Class definition is interconnected with a defined Domain. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | So, they were assigned pursuant to the following criteria: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ^Source^Depending on ^Domain^ | + | |
| - | |LOINC|CLASSTYPE=1 or 2|Measurement| | + | |
| - | | |CLASSTYPE=3 or 4|Observation| | + | |
| - | |LOINC Hierarchy|Concept_code>'LP76352-1'|Observation| | + | |
| - | | |Concept_code>='LP76352-1'|Measurement| | + | |
| - | |LOINC Class|Manual|Observation or Measurement| | + | |
| - | |LOINC Answer| |Meas Value| | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Relationships ==== | + | |
| - | Relationships are defined within LOINC and between LOINC and CPT, and LOINC and SNOMED: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===1. Internal LOINC relationships === | + | |
| - | A purpose of Internal LOINC relationships is to build a LOINC Hierarchy, which makes it easier to sort and browse the database. | + | |
| - | + | ||

| - | |Kind of|LOINC concepts indicating Kinds of Document (Document Ontology)|LOINC Measurement or Observation| | + | |
| - | |Concept replaces|New LOINC concept|Updated LOINC concept| | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===2. LOINC to SNOMED relationships === | + | |
| - | These relationships are defined as "LOINC - SNOMED eq" between "LOINC Hierarchy" Concepts and SNOMED Concepts representing the entity that is measured. Note that only a small fraction (1%) is currently mapped. Also, note that some of the mappings seem to confuse the testing for drugs with the drugs themselves. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===3. LOINC to CPT relationships === | + | |
| - | These relationships are defined as "LOINC - CPT4 eq" between LOINC Lab Test Concepts and SNOMED Concepts. Note that only a small fraction (2%) is mapped. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | === Hierarchy === | + | |
| - | All internal "Is a" and "Panel contains" relationships participate in the creation of the CONCEPT_ANCESTOR table, creating an internal hierarchy within LOINC not connected to the larger Measurement or Observation Domain space. | + | |
