LOINC long common name : Collaborative staging version.first Cancer;
LOINC short name : CS version 1st Cancer;
LOINC description : This item indicates the number of the version used to initially code CS fields. The
CS version number is returned as part of the output of the CS algorithm. As long as
the CS algorithm is run and the output values stored at the time of initial abstracting,
the returned values from the program should be automatically stored as CS Version
1st. This item may be blank if the CS algorithm has not been run or if this field
has not been implemented. When it is implemented, this data item should be entered
at the time the CS fields are first coded and the algorithm first applied. If the
calculation algorithm is not called at the time of the initial abstracting, the CS
Version 1st could also be entered manually by the abstractor. It is not expected that
this field would be updated every time a coded value is changed. However, the field
should be available for future updating if, for example, the CS fields for certain
records were to be systematically recoded for a special study using a later version,
the CS Version 1st could be appropriately updated with the new version. The meaning
and interpretation of CS Version 1st will be dependent on vendor implementation and
local practices. This field should be interpreted with caution in a dataset where
the actual coding procedures are unknown. Codes CS Version 1st is a 6-digit code.
The first two digits represent the major version number; the second two digits represent
minor version changes; and, the last two digits represent even less significant changes,
such as corrections of typographical errors that do not affect coding or derivation
of results. .. NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary Version 11;
