72143-1 Sex [HL7.v3]

Term Description

Sex of the patient, created for HL7 v3's "Administrative gender" concept, which represents the sex of a person used for adminstrative purposes (such as registering a patient in a hospital EHR). https://www.hl7.org/fhir/v3/AdministrativeGender/index.html

Part Descriptions

LP101395-4   Sex
In LOINC, sex refers to the biological sex of an organism, which is most commonly determined based on anatomy and physiology or genetic (chromosome) analysis. Our definition is based on the World Health Organization's definition of sex and gender: sex (male, female) refers to biological and physiological characteristics, and gender (masculine, feminine) refers to socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes.
