CID 7455 Sex (Current)
Prev	B DCMR Context Groups (Normative)	Next

This Context Group includes terms for the finding of sex of a subject for clinical purposes, such as selection of sex-based growth metrics.

Table CID 7455. Sex

Coding Scheme Designator	Code Value	Code Meaning	Patient's Sex (0010,0040) Equivalent
DCM	M	Male	M
DCM	F	Female	F
DCM	U	Unknown sex
DCM	MP	Male Pseudohermaphrodite
DCM	FP	Female Pseudohermaphrodite
DCM	H	Hermaphrodite
DCM	MC	Male changed to Female
DCM	FC	Female changed to Male
DCM	121104	Ambiguous sex
DCM	121102	Other sex
DCM	121103	Undetermined sex	O

These terms are distinct from the gender of a subject for administrative purposes, although the default value for clinical sex is often based on the administrative gender (e.g., see TID 1007 “Subject Context, Patient”). The administrative value "O" from Patient's Sex (0010,0040) maps by default to "undetermined" for clinical purposes.
This Context Group in a prior edition of the Standard included codes improperly attributed to ISO 5218.
These terms are derived from the terminology and codes for sex in ASTM E1633-02a "Standard Specification for Coded Values Used in the Electronic Health Record."
