Definition 1

The possible or expected results that can be obtained by observing, monitoring, measuring or otherwise qualitatively or quantitatively recording one or more aspects of physiologic or psychologic processes. (NCI Thesaurus)

Definition 2

The possible or expected results that can be obtained by observing, monitoring, measuring or otherwise qualitatively or quantitatively recording one or more aspects of physiologic or psychologic processes. EXAMPLE(S): The normal range for a systolic blood pressure reading is 110-130 for adult males: ReferenceResult.referenceTypeCode = normal range; ReferenceResult.valueTypeCode = systolic blood pressure; ReferenceResult.value.ANY => IVL<PQ> = 110-130 mm[Hg]; ReferenceResult.populationScopeCode = adult males. The limit of quantitation for a PK assay, concentration of drug XYZ is 2-60 nanograms/ml for adult women as processed by Acme Labs: Reference.Result.referenceTypeCode = limit of quantitation; ReferenceResult.valueTypeCode = PK assay, concentration of drug XYZ; ReferenceResult.value.ANY => IVL<PQ> = 2-60 nanograms/ml; ReferenceResult > PerformingLaboratory > Laboratory > Organization.name = Acme Labs. The normal range for a hemoglobin concentration measurement on an adult female performed by Acme Labs is 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL: ReferenceResult.referenceTypeCode = normal range; ReferenceResult.valueTypeCode = hemoglobin concentration measurement; ReferenceResult.value.ANY => IVL<PQ> = 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL; ReferenceResult.populationScopeCode = adult females; ReferenceResult > PerformingLaboratory > Laboratory > Organization.name = Acme Labs. The normal range for a fasting blood glucose measurement on an adult performed by Acme Labs is 3.6 to 5.8 mmol/L: ReferenceResult.referenceTypeCode = normal range; ReferenceResult.valueTypeCode = blood glucose measurement; ReferenceResult.value.ANY => IVL<PQ> = 3.6 to 5.8 mmol/L; ReferenceResult.populationScopeCode = adult; ReferenceResult.fastingStatusIndicator = true; ReferenceResult > PerformingLaboratory > Laboratory > Organization.name = Acme Labs. OTHER NAME(S): Normal range, reference range, limit of quantitation, clinical concern range, data checking range, alert range. NOTE(S): The context of a reference result may include any combination of the following: the performing lab, the performing device, and the population to which the reference value pertains. The context may also omit any of those aspects as well. (NCI Thesaurus/BRIDG)
