RESUMO

Objective: Mapping local use names to standardized nomenclatures such as LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a time-consuming task when done retrospectively or during the configuration of new information systems. The author sought to identify a subset of intensive care unit (ICU) laboratory tests, which, because of their frequency of use, should be the focus of efforts to standardize test names in ICU information systems.
