A text string identifying a pre-specified criterion within a parameter, where the criterion can have multiple responses (as opposed to CRITy which has binary responses). Required if MCRITyML is present. For example, the grade of a lab analyte is compared to the baseline grade, with the possible conditions being 0 to 1, 0 to 2, etc. The text string identifies the criterion being evaluated (for example, "Grade increase") and is populated on every row for the parameter; which level of the criterion is satisfied is indicated by the value of the variable MCRITyML (for example "0 to 1", "0 to 2", etc.).
See MCRITyML and MCRITyMN below, and refer to Identification of Records Used for Analysis for additional discussion of MCRITy, MCRITyML, and MCRITyMN.
