Description
Bilirubin Pretreatment Unit of Measure identifies the unit of measure for the bilirubin value measured prior to treatment. Bilirubin is commonly measured in units of Milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) in the United States and Micromoles/liter (umol/L) in Canada and Europe.
Rationale
Bilirubin Pretreatment is a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. Bilirubin Pretreatment Unit of Measure is needed to identify the unit in which bilirubin is measured and was previously collected as Liver, CS SSF# 7.
