LOINC description : NAPIIA stands for NAACCR Asian and Pacific Islander Identification Algorithm. Race--NAPIIA
recodes some single-race cases with a Race 1 [160] code of 96 to a more specific Asian
race category, based on an algorithm that makes use of the birthplace and name fields
(first, last, and maiden names). For single-race cases with Race 1 other than 96,
it returns Race 1. Multiple-race cases (those with information in Race 2 through Race
5, [161-164]) are handled variously; refer to the technical documentation for specifics:
www.naaccr.org/filesystem/pdf/NAPIIA_v1_ 07242007.pdf. In Version 1 of the algorithm,
birth place can be used to indirectly assign a specific race to one of eight Asian
race groups (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Asian Indian, Filipino, Thai,
and Cambodian), and names can be used to indirectly assign a specific race to one
of seven Asian groups (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Asian Indian, Filipino,
and Hmong). Subsequent versions of NAPIIA may incorporate Pacific Islanders and may
potentially incorporate name lists for Thai, Cambodian, and Laotians. Rationale The
use of more specific Asian and Pacific Islander codes will enhance surveillance and
research activities focused on specific API subgroups.;
