what does Condition.onSetPeriod mean?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 01 2020 at 11:07):
the period that it took the condition to appear?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 01 2020 at 11:08):
in other words, what does this mean:
{ "resourceType": "Condition", ... "onsetPeriod.start": "2020-01", "onsetPeriod.end": "2020-02", ... }
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 01 2020 at 11:09):
a) that the condition appeared between january and february progressively?
b) that the condition lasted between january and february?
c) that the condition appeared sometime between january and february?
...?
Mareike Przysucha (Apr 01 2020 at 11:11):
I would say (c).
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 01 2020 at 11:19):
is that clear from the description or is there some interpretation room? I may have missed something
Mareike Przysucha (Apr 01 2020 at 11:30):
In the spec on https://www.hl7.org/fhir/condition-definitions.html#Condition.onset_x_ it says: Estimated or actual date or date-time the condition began, in the opinion of the clinician. For me this is quite clear. Unless I missed something...
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 01 2020 at 11:42):
yes, that could still be a) or c), right? (I think it excludes b reasonanly, altough it could be more explicit)
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 01 2020 at 11:50):
example: if condition is "Decreased hair growth" i'd think a), if it's "Abortion with endometritis" it'd think c)
John Moehrke (Apr 01 2020 at 12:26):
not sure I would expect a period to explain the difference between a and c. it can just say it is between (a or c)
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 01 2020 at 14:06):
It always means c. Please submit a change request for it to be clarified
