LOINC groupers/categories

Are there any LOINC groupers/categories that are available based on diagnosis?

@enaga:

Don’t understand the question. Based on diagnosis? Do you mean indication for a lab test?

Yes, we are looking to map the lab test to a diagnosis. In some cases we realize that the LOINC may map to a handful of diagnoses.

I don’t think that is straightforward. It would be a one to potentially very many map. Take white blood cell count. There are a gazillion of reasons why there could be a leukocytosis or leukopenia in the blood. The most common diagnosis is “make sure everything is ok”.

@enaga
maybe you can ask here:
