Topic: Observation.valueRatio question
Charles Frankston (May 20 2020 at 19:01):
So we've got an HL7 measurement:
OBX|8|SN|516-5^TMP SMX Islt MIC^LN^^^^2.67^^Trimethoprim + Sulfamethoxazole|1|<=^1^/^19|mcg/mL||S|||F| ...
Note the <=^1^/^19. So I think this should be be a valueRatio in FHIR, represented as a https://www.hl7.org/fhir/datatypes.html#Ratio. But where does the "<=" part go? The numerator, the denominator, both, or is valueRatio just the wrong way to represent this?

In Ratio, the numerator and denominator are both Quantity - check out Quantity.comparitor
Charles Frankston (May 20 2020 at 21:39):
So yes, that's the question -- both numerator and denominator have a Quantity.comparator. Which one gets the '<="?
Lloyd McKenzie (May 20 2020 at 22:51):
I would presume the numerator
