The MEASUREMENT table contains records of Measurement, i.e. structured values (numerical or categorical) obtained through systematic and standardized examination or testing of a Person or Person's sample. The MEASUREMENT table contains both orders and results of such Measurements as laboratory tests, vital signs, quantitative findings from pathology reports, etc. The MEASUREMENT table contains records of Measurement, i.e. structured values (numerical or categorical) obtained through systematic and standardized examination or testing of a Person or Person's sample.

* Valid Measurement Concepts (measurement_concept_id) belong to the 'Measurement' domain, but could overlap with the 'Observation' domain. This is due to the fact that there is a continuum between systematic examination or testing (Measurement) and a simple determination of fact (Observation). When the Measurement Source Value of the code cannot be translated into a standard Measurement Concept ID, a Measurement entry is stored with only the corresponding source_concept_id and measurement_source_value and a measurement_concept_id of 0. * Valid Measurement Concepts (measurement_concept_id) belong to the 'Measurement' domain, but could overlap with the 'Observation' domain.

* Measurements are stored as attribute value pairs, with the attribute as the Measurement Concept and the value representing the result. The value can be a Concept (stored in value_as_concept), or a numerical value (value_as_number) with a Unit (unit_concept_id). * Measurements are stored as attribute value pairs, with the attribute as the Measurement Concept and the value representing the result.

* For some Measurement Concepts, the result is included in the test. For example, ICD10 concept_id 45595451 "Presence of alcohol in blood, level not specified" indicates a Measurement and the result (present). In those situations, the CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP table in addition to the “Maps to” record contains a second record with the relationship_id set to “Maps to value”. In this example, the “Maps to” relationship directs to 4041715 "Blood ethanol measurement" as well as a “Maps to value” record to 4181412 "Present". * For some Measurement Concepts, the result is included in the test.

* The operator_concept_id is optionally given for relative Measurements where the precise value is not available but its relation to a certain benchmarking value is. For example, this can be used for minimal detection thresholds of a test. * The operator_concept_id is optionally given for relative Measurements where the precise value is not available but its relation to a certain benchmarking value is.

* The meaning of Concept 4172703 for '=' is identical to omission of a operator_concept_id value. Since the use of this field is rare, it's important when devising analyses to not to forget testing for the content of this field for values different from =. * The meaning of Concept 4172703 for '=' is identical to omission of a operator_concept_id value.
