A text string identifying a pre-specified criterion within a parameter, for example SYSBP > 90. Required if CRITyFL is present. In some cases, the presence of the text string indicates that the criterion is satisfied on this record and CRITyFL is set to Y, while a null value indicates that the criterion is not satisfied or is not evaluable and is accompanied by a null value in CRITyFL. In other cases, the text string identifies the criterion being evaluated and is populated on every row for the parameter, but whether or not the criterion is satisfied is indicated by the value of the variable CRITyFL. See CRITyFL and CRITyFN.
Character flag variable indicating whether the criterion defined in CRITy was met by the data on the record. See CRITy for more information regarding how to use CRITy and CRITyFL to indicate whether a criterion is met. Required if CRITy is present.
Numeric representation of CRITyFL. There must be a one-to-one relationship between CRITyFN and CRITyFL within a parameter.
CRITyFN cannot be present unless CRITyFL is also present. When CRITyFL and CRITyFN are present, then on a given record, either both must be populated or both must be null.
MCRITy
Analysis Multi-Response Criterion y
Char
Perm
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.).
Character variable indicating which level of the criterion defined in MCRITy was met by the data on the record. See MCRITy for more information regarding how to use MCRITy and MCRITyML to indicate whether a criterion was met. Content is applicant-defined. Required if MCRITy is present.
MCRITyMN
Multi-Response Criterion y Eval (N)
Num
Perm
Numeric representation of MCRITyML. There must be a one-to-one relationship between MCRITyMN and MCRITyML within a parameter. Content is applicant-defined.
MCRITyMN cannot be present unless MCRITyML is also present. When MCRITyML and MCRITyMN are present, then on a given record, either both must be populated or both must be null.
