Procedure¶
The Procedure element represents a clinical procedure performed on a subject in order to extract a biosample.
If the Procedure element is used, it must contain a code
element, but only need contain the
body_site element if needed.
Data model
Field | Type | Status | Description |
---|---|---|---|
code | OntologyClass | required | clinical procedure performed on a subject |
body_site | OntologyClass | optional | specific body site if unable to represent this is the code |
Example
{
"code" {
"id": "NCIT:C28743",
"label": "Punch Biopsy"
},
"bodySite" {
"id": "UBERON:0003403",
"label": "skin of forearm"
}
}
code¶
This element is an OntologyClass that represents clinical procedure performed on a subject. For instance, Biopsy of Soft Palate would be represented as follows.
{
"code": {
"id": "NCIT:C51585",
"label": "Biopsy of Soft Palate"
}
}
body site¶
In cases where it is not possible to represent the procedure adequately with a single OntologyClass, the body site should be indicated using a separate ontology class. For instance, the following indicates a punch biopsy on the skin of the forearm.
{
"code" {
"id": "NCIT:C28743",
"label": "Punch Biopsy"
},
"bodySite" {
"id": "UBERON:0003403",
"label": "skin of forearm"
}
}
