Type Alias: LivdLookup

LivdLookup = { loinc: string; loincLongName?: string; status: "mapped"; } | { status: "unmapped"; } | { candidates: readonly string[]; status: "ambiguous"; }

The outcome of looking a vendor code up in a LivdCatalog. A distinct value per safe disposition - a hit is mapped; a miss is unmapped; a code that matched more than one distinct LOINC is ambiguous with the candidates surfaced but none chosen. There is deliberately no "guessed" case.

Union Members

Type Literal

{ loinc: string; loincLongName?: string; status: "mapped"; }

Exactly one LOINC (one entry, or several entries that all agree on the same LOINC).

---

Type Literal

{ status: "unmapped"; }

No entry for this code - a miss. The code stays verbatim; no LOINC is invented.

---

Type Literal

{ candidates: readonly string[]; status: "ambiguous"; }

More than one distinct LOINC - surfaced for inspection, never resolved to one.
