LOINC Code 63040-0: PhenX - life events - child protocol 211501
63040-0 is a LOINC code used to identify PhenX - life events - child protocol 211501 in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component PhenX - life events - child protocol 211501. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.
What is this code?
LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component PhenX - life events - child protocol 211501. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.
When is it used?
- Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
- May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
- Status: ACTIVE
- Panel type: Panel
- Method: PhenX
What it does not mean
- The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.
Key facts

- The Adverse Life Events Scale is a self- or proxy-administered, 25-item questionnaire that reports events experienced during the previous year over which the child had little or no control. The respondent reviews the list of items and indicates which events have occurred. It is necessary to extract data for smaller units (e.g., census tracts) to calculate the Dissimilarity Index for each larger unit. To aid comparability between studies, the Social Environment Working Group recommends that researchers set the smaller area to the census tract and the larger area to the metropolitan statistical area. Additionally, researchers can use the census variables to calculate more basic diversity scores at the census tract level such as the entropy index. The most common conceptualization of residential segregation is based on the dimension of evenness (Taeuber & Taeuber, 1965; White, 1986; Massey & Denton, 1988; Reardon & O'Sullivan, 2004), and the most widely used measure of residential segregation is the Dissimilarity Index, sometimes referred to as D. This measure is computationally straightforward to calculate from Census data, and while the index of dissimilarity was originally applied in a comparison of two different population groups (most often Whites and Blacks), recent papers have extended this measure to the multiple race/ethnic group case (Reardon & Firebaugh, 2002), and others have extended the 2 and multigroup measure by incorporating the spatial dimension using data from adjacent or proximate census units and weighting accordingly (see White, 1983; Wong, 1993; Reardon & O'Sullivan, 2004; Reardon et al., 2008).
