Hi

Recently LOINC has been looking at tests that have ranges and non-linearity of some assays, where the “numeric” value could be presumed to be linear because it is a number when it is not a linear scale.

The historical perspective from LOINC Background to semi-Quantitative in LOINC

The document is written by Michael K Martin, DVM, MPH, DACVPM, on when more or less continuous values are grouped into smaller categories for reporting called Binning (Bucketing) document

Here is a working spreadsheet from 2.73 candidates for change to semi-quantitative. Semi Quant Scale Considerations spreadsheet

Please look at the spreadsheet, and filter by class.
If you have questions please let me know
