    What is FQL?

    FQL is a query language that allows you to retrieve, filter and project data from any data source containing FHIR Resources. It brings the power of three existing languages together: SQL, JSON and FhirPath. It allows you to create tables and is useful for gaining insight and perform quality control.

NPCR_Gleason_Score_Systematic_Biopsy_Observation

Gleason score observation for prostate tissue obtained via systematic biopsy. Part of the NPCR Gleason score observation family, consisting of one Summary-level profile (NPCRGleasonScoreObservation) and four source-specific profiles.

Source variables covered (4 NPCR Variabelbeskrivning variables):

  • D_SystGleasUppSak → component:missingFlag
  • D_SystPrimGleas → component:primaryGrade
  • D_SystSekGleas → component:secondaryGrade
  • D_SystGleasSa → component:gleasonSum

Systematic biopsy uses a standardized multi-sector sampling convention covering the entire prostate, yielding a single Gleason assessment per biopsy session. Unlike targeted biopsy, no reporting convention choice is required (D_RiktGleasTyp is not applicable), so this profile does not include the NPCRGleasonDefinitionType extension.

The Summary Gleason Observation (NPCRGleasonScoreObservation) aggregates this and other source-specific observations using FHIR Observation.derivedFrom references. Per NPCR INCA logic, systematic biopsy is the first-priority source for derivation when D_Vavn=1 (before Oklar and Rikt).

Terminology binding — documentation gap (Observation.code): NPCR Informationsspecifikation §7 does not provide a section for Gleason score identification. Observation.code is Must Support but without fixed value or terminology binding, consistent with other NPCR observation profiles. Resource identification relies on meta.profile.

Conditional requirements (per NPCR Beteende/logik) — documented but not enforced:

  • D_SystPrimGleas, D_SystSekGleas, D_SystGleasSa are obligatoriskt when D_SystBiopsi = 1 AND D_SystGleasUppSak != true
