42093-5

LOINC code 42093-5 identifies "Collaborative staging version.latest Cancer". This item indicates the number of the version of the CS used most recently to derive the CS output fields. This data item is recorded the first time the CS output fields are derived and should be updated each time the CS Derived items are re-computed. The CS version number is returned as part of the output of the CS algorithm. The returned value from the program should be automatically stored as CS Version Latest. This item should not be updated manually. Codes CS Version Latest 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 results. This item should not be blank if the CS Derived items contain stored values. This item should be blank if the CS Derived items are empty or the CS algorithm has not been applied. ..
