Description
Preserve explicit hormone assay result and censoring metadata.
Endocrine records distinguish specimen matrices, assay methods, unit bases, reference editions and sampling clocks. A printed significant-digit count differs from numerical rounding, while a fasting label is a reported state rather than verified preparation. Image axes and result labels organize supplied observations without deriving hormone physiology or clinical interpretation.
Preserve explicit hormone assay result and censoring metadata.
When to use this tool
Use Hormone Assay Lower Bound Censor Code when you already have resultId, resultText, suppliedCensorCode and need to preserve explicit hormone assay result and censoring metadata.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter resultId, resultText, suppliedCensorCode. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter resultId, resultText, suppliedCensorCode using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| resultId | Result Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| resultText | Result Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedCensorCode | Supplied Censor Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without substituting values or clinical interpretation. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile the laboratory report, specimen and method information, reference source and collection timeline before comparing results. Use the complete appropriate assessment for a clinical question; one clock correction, diameter ratio or recorded status does not provide it.
