Staff surface Definitions and reviews

Definition library

Every executable definition and catalogue entry, with the threshold quoted from its source. All are drafts pending clinical and coding review; a definition shows as reviewed only after an approval is recorded. Default set library_default_set@1.0.

Cancer-treatment adverse-event grading scale (NCI CTCAE): off by default

CTCAE grades describe adverse events in people receiving cancer treatment, usually in trials; they are not diagnostic criteria, and several grades depend on the laboratory reference range or on clinical descriptors that are not encoded. Using them outside that setting is a local decision for the clinical reviewer.

Current: Off (default) When on, grading entries are shown only as "another published definition gives …" or as values needing clinical judgement; they never raise a "not stated" item.

CDI or coding staff can change this setting and record reviews: switch the demo user.
