LOINC Code 69564-3: Bacterial vaginosis score NAA+probe Ql (Vag fld)

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 Bacterial vaginosis score. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Vag.

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
• Order vs observation: Observation
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• Bacterial vaginosis score in Vaginal fluid Qualitative by NAA with probe detection
• Bacterial vaginosis score
• The total bacterial vaginosis (BV) score is an indicator of the presence of bacterial vaginosis in vaginal fluid. The total BV score is the sum of the three individual target scores of Atopobium vaginae (AV), Bacterial Vaginosis-Associated Bacterium 2 (BVAB2) and Megasphaera species Type 1 (Mega1). A total score of 0-1 indicates the absence of BV, 2 is indeterminate for BV, and 3-6 indicates the presence of BV.
