Units of Measure to Add

Sounds good. Probably without the “etc.” So: “Generic unit for indivisible thing”

No worries, they can just be called {PTs}… :wink:

Standing for ‘parts’ or ‘patients’? :smiley:
As for me part can be confused with part of the whole / proportion.

It’s already in Athena.

Could we add Microkatal per Liter to our unit vocabulary? It is unit to measure Lactate dehydrogenase activity

Agree. Derive from katal per liter. @Alexdavv, @Dymshyts?

On it.

Dear community!

Here are some units that were lacking during ETL process and which we are planning to add to UCUM vocabulary. Any considerations?

milliliter per kilogram per minute – ml/kg/min

nanogram per kilogram per minute – ng/kg/min

wood unit per square meter – [wood’U]/m2

dyne-second per centimeter to the fifth power per square meter – dyn.s/cm5/m2

million per kilogram –10*6/kg

millivolt – mV

gram per 72 hour – g/(72.h)

kilojoule per mole – kJ/mol

gram per 48 hours – g/(48.h)

unit per 10 to the 10th power cells – U/10*10.{cells}

pack per day – pack/(24.h)

micrometer per second – um/s

picogram per gram of creatinine – pg/g{creat}

nanomole per minute per mg of protein – nmol/min/mg{protein}

cells per 7.5 mililiters – {cells}/(75.10*-1.mL)

femtoliter per nanoliter – fL/nL

unit per kilogram – U/kg{Hb}

unit per 2 hours – U/(2.h)

threshold cycle value – {Ct_value}

milliliter per pound (US) – mL/[lb_us]

millibar – mbar

nanogram per nanogram – ng/ng

free thyroxine index – {FTI%}

milligram per deciliter per 24 hours – mg/dL/(24.h)

picogram per milligram of creatinine – pg/mg{creat}

picomole per hour per microliter – pmol/hr/uL

nanomole per 24 hours per milligram – nmol/(24.h)/mg

milliliter per minute per 1.73 square meter – mL/min/(173.10*-2.m2)

milliliter per millibar – ml/mbar

millibar per centimeter of water – ml/cm [H2O]

millibar per liter – mbar/L

Hi! Do we really need this in OMOP?)

Why not – it is a measure of pulmonary vascular resistance. Used in a number of treatment guidelines for pulmonary arterial hypertension.

The big controversy is Wood Units/m2 versus Wood Units.m2 (slash versus dot)
