LOINC Code 82260-1: MET by standard RMR panel

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 Metabolic equivalent of task by standard resting metabolic rate panel. 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: Subset
• Panel type: Convenience group

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• MET by standard RMR panel
• Metabolic equivalent of task by standard resting metabolic rate panel
• This panel includes terms for the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) calculated based on either measured, estimated or reported exercise metabolic rate and the standard resting metabolic rate (RMR). The standard RMR is a reference baseline oxygen consumption constant of 3.5 mL/kg/min and is approximately equivalent to 1 kcal/kg/h or 4.184 kJ/kg/h.
