by | Feb 4, 2020 | Kind-of-property, List of kinds-of-property

Kind-of-property (k-o-p)

Abbreviation

 k-o-p

Definition in words

 Any kind-of-property of component B in system 1

Systematic terms

 Kind-of-property of component B in system 1

Result type

 Any result type

Special rule(s) in the NPU syntax

“Procedure” is stated in the specification to the kind-of-property in the NPU definition.

“Procedure” indicates that the measurement procedure must be stated somewhere else than the NPU code and there may be difficulties in comparing values for the same NPU code.

 Example 1 (ratio)
Generic abbreviated form NPU26761 P—Complement Pathway, Classical; k-o-p(erythrol.; actual/norm; proc.) = ?
Full form with a result NPU26761 Plasma—Complement Pathway, Classical; kind-of-property(erythrolysis; actual/norm; procedure) = 1.7 x one
Abbreviated form with a result NPU26761 P—Complement Pathway, Classical; k-o-p(erythrol.; actual/norm; proc.) = 1.7
Written expression The kind-of-property of Classical Complement Pathway in Mr. Smith’s Plasma is [1.7]. The measurement is performed according to erythrolysis procedure defined by the laboratory. The  calculation is performed by dividing kind-of-property of Classical Complement Pathway in Mr. Smith’s Plasma with kind-of-property of Classical Complement Pathway in a norm (reference system).
Equation

Example 2 (ordinal)
Generic abbreviated form NPU26803 P—Complement Pathway, lectin(MBP-C induced); k-o-p(erythrol.; proc.) = ?
Full form with a result NPU26803 Plasma—Complement Pathway, lectin(MBP-C induced); kind-of-property(erythrolysis; procedure) = Low
Abbreviated form with a result NPU26803 P—Complement Pathway, lectin(MBP-C induced); k-o-p(erythrol.; proc.) = Low
Written expression The kind-of-property of MBP-C induced lectin Complement Pathway in Mr. Smith’s Plasma is [low] compared with kind-of-property of MBP-C induced lectin Complement Pathway in a reference system. The measurement is performed according to erythrolysis procedure defined by the laboratory.

Clinical Chemistry
Example 3 (ratio)
Generic abbreviated form NPU26805 P—Mannose-binding lectin; k-o-p(actual/norm; proc.) = ?
Full form with a result NPU26805 Plasma—Mannose-binding lectin; kind-of-property(actual/norm; procedure) = 1.0 x one
Abbreviated form with a result NPU26805 P—Mannose-binding lectin; k-o-p(actual/norm; proc.) = 1.0
Written expression The kind-of-property of Mannose-binding lectin in Mr. Smith’s Plasma is [1.0]. The measurement is performed according to procedure defined by the laboratory. The  calculation is performed by dividing kind-of-property of Mannose-binding lectin in Mr. Smith’s Plasma with kind-of-property of  Mannose-binding lectin in a norm (reference system).
Equation
Example 4 (ratio)
Generic abbreviated form NPU58634 Pt—Liver fibrosis; k-o-p(FIB-4; WHO 2016; proc.) = ?
Full form with a result NPU58634 Patient—Liver fibrosis; kind-of-property(FIB-4; WHO 2016; procedure) = 20
Abbreviated form with a result NPU58634 Pt—Liver fibrosis; k-o-p(FIB-4; WHO 2016; proc.) = 20
Written expression The kind-of-property of Mr. Smith’s Liver fibrosis is [20]. The measurement is performed according to FIB-4 procedure defined by the WHO 2016.
Equation

Reproduction and Fertility

 Example 5 (ordinal)
Generic abbreviated form NPU29347 Spmzoa—Spermatozoal penetration; k-o-p(proc.) = ?
Full form with a result NPU29347 Spermatozoa—Spermatozoal penetration; kind-of-property(procedure) = Low
Abbreviated form with a result NPU29347 Spmzoa—Spermatozoal penetration; k-o-p(proc.) = Low
Written expression The kind-of-property of Mr. Smith’s Spermatozoa’s Spermatozoal penetration is [Low]. The measurement is performed according to procedure defined by the laboratory.
