| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||

| change reason | Seven concepts requested as "Cholesterol.in LDL 1", "Cholesterol.in LDL 2", "Cholesterol.in LDL 3", etc. were mis-stated. At the time these terms were created, there was no such test as "Cholesterol in LDL 1" or any of its siblings. These were intended to be LDL subclasses named LDL 1, LDL 2 and so on, which progress from large buoyant LDL particles to smaller less buoyant ones. We have taken "cholesterol.in" out of the name to reflect the real intention of the submission. | ||
