Discussion

abe(L)solano Feb 20, 2023: Yes, but it is not "heure". When doing lab tests hour is for the most part irrelevant unless it's PK sampling or a specific analyte like fast glucose.
Martin Buchet Feb 20, 2023: Abel, I just said that..
abe(L)solano Feb 20, 2023: "Heure" is completely irrelevant in this context. If it is an error, then very possibly should be "Lieu": the anatomical region of the sample, like here: https://labosudb.manuelprelevement.fr/DocumentNew.aspx?idDoc... LIEU DE PRÉLÈVEMENT : (A) Endomètre (B) Endocol (C) Col (D) Vagin (E) Vulve (F) Anus (G) Auto Prélèvement Vaginal (APV)
Martin Buchet Feb 19, 2023: I think bourth might be right, looks like a transcription mistake : heure or lieu.
Emmanuella Feb 18, 2023: Il est indiqué origine entre parenthèses.
Bourth Feb 18, 2023: Could it be a transcription of a doctor's voice recording where (s)he said not 'absence d'heure de réalisation' but 'absence heure de réalisation' and the 'heure' was heard as 'eu' ?
abe(L)solano Feb 18, 2023: I belive that is simply that the sample didn't had (enough) vaginal cells (EU location) and that invalidates the sample
abe(L)solano Feb 18, 2023: I will say it stands for "extra uterine", but I am figuring out what do they mean
