LOINC Code 74020-9: Genetic risk algorithm sensitivity [Ratio]

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 Genetic risk algorithm sensitivity. 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
• Order vs observation: Observation

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Genetic risk algorithm sensitivity [Ratio]
• Genetic risk algorithm sensitivity
• The sensitivity (true positive rate) of a genetic algorithm (e.g. BCRAPRO) used for pedigree (family history) analysis of a given disease. The higher the sensitivity, the more likely the test is able to identify a true positive result.
