P10 KE-P10 · outpatient visit

One row per condition family: what the record supports under the published definition, what the note states, the visit's diagnosis entries, and an assessment. Codes are coded from the signed documentation; the software never assigns one.

Draft query: Iron deficiency

Blocked by the query linter

A non-leading clarification request: clinical indicators with their sources, an open question, several options plus "other" and "unable to determine". No code and no payment word; the same indicators cannot be queried twice.

DOCUMENTATION QUERY (draft) for KE-P10 · ferritin
Title: Clarification request: ferritin results

Clinical indicators from the health record:
- Ferritin 11 ug/L (2026-11-12 09:05) [measurement LM-P10-01]

Question:
Based on your independent clinical judgement, how would you describe the clinical significance of the ferritin results listed above?

Response options (select one or write your own):
( ) Iron deficiency
( ) Not clinically significant for this encounter

Iron deficiency (ferritin <15 µg/L)

  • ferritin serum 11 ug/L 2026-11-12 09:05 · LM-P10-01

Window: 180 days before the check.

Iron deficiency by serum ferritin (WHO 2020)

who2020_iron_deficiency_ferritin@1.0
Table 1, iron deficiency, serum ferritin (µg/L): Children under 5 years <12 (apparently healthy), <30 (infection or inflammation); Adults (20–59 years) <15, <70; Pregnant women <15 (first trimester)

World Health Organization, WHO guideline on use of ferritin concentrations to assess iron status in individuals and populations (2020) · Executive summary, recommendations 1.1-1.2 (PDF page 11) and Table 1 (PDF page 12) · source

Contested: Ferritin cut-offs for iron deficiency vary widely between bodies and studies (the guideline's own review cites thresholds from <12 to <30 µg/L in pregnancy); WHO's are low (high specificity). Other bodies (e.g. gastroenterology guidance) use higher values; those texts were not opened.

Not encoded: Pregnancy after the first trimester, and pregnancy with infection or inflammation: Table 1 gives no cut-off ('—'), so not assessable. Iron overload thresholds (Table 1 right half) are not encoded. Whether inflammation is present is supplied by the caller; CRP/AGP thresholds and population correction factors (question 4) are not applied.
