What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

Key facts

Summary stage and regional lymph nodes positive override flag Cancer case

Stage.summary & regional lymph nodes positive override flag

Some computer edits identify errors. Others indicate possible errors that require manual review for resolution. To eliminate the need to review the same cases repeatedly, over-ride flags have been developed to indicate that data in a record (or records) have been reviewed and, while unusual, are correct. This over-ride is used with the following edits in the NAACCR Metafile of the EDITS softwareSummary Stage, Regional Nodes Pos (NAACCR) Summary Stage 2000, Regional Nodes Pos (NAACCR) Some edits check for code combinations that are possible, but quite rare. If the code combination generates an error message and review of the case indicates that the codes are correct for the case, then the over-ride flag is used to skip the edit in the future. See Chapter IV, Recommended Data Edits and Software Coordination of Standards. Over-ride Flag as Used in the EDITS Software Package The edit SS/NodesPos checks Summary Stage against the Regional Nodes Positive and generates an error if there is an incompatibility between the two data items. Instructions for Coding Leave blank if the program does not generate an error message for the edit SS/Nodes Positive. Code 1 if the case has been reviewed and it has been verified that the case has both SEER Summary Stage and Nodes Positive coded correctly .. NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary Version 11
