0. Extension
Definition

Sex assigned at birth refers to what was determined by biological sex characteristics including genital and chromosome composition observed at birth or infancy. Sex assigned at birth is captured once for a person and is not expected to change within their lifetime.

ShortSex Assigned at Birth
Comments

A person's sex can change over the course of their lifetime. The value in sex assigned at birth may not match a person’s gender or the sex recorded on their birth certificate or values in observations taken later in life that are the result of a specific measurement e.g. gonadal, ductal or phenotypic.

    Definition

    The type or category of sex or gender that is recorded is sex assigned at birth.

    ShortSNOMED Sex Assigned at Birth
    Comments

    Because the recorded sex or gender concept exists primarily as means to exchange sex and gender data concepts that are known NOT to represent a gender identity, sex parameter for clinical use, or attributes related to sexuality, the type is used to identify what type of concept the recorded sex or gender concept is.

If the semantics of the field are known, they may be described in the comment. For example, if the 'SEX' field on a license in a particular state or province is populated based on an individual's indication of what gender they consider themselves to be, but the field label is 'SEX' for historical reasons, a comment describing that the semantics of the field align with gender identity, even though the field name is 'SEX' can be provided.

                              Sex assigned at birth refers to what was determined by biological sex characteristics including genital and chromosome composition observed at birth or infancy. Sex assigned at birth is captured once for a person and is not expected to change within their lifetime.

                              A person's sex can change over the course of their lifetime. The value in sex assigned at birth may not match a person’s gender or the sex recorded on their birth certificate or values in observations taken later in life that are the result of a specific measurement e.g. gonadal, ductal or phenotypic.

                                    Because the recorded sex or gender concept exists primarily as means to exchange sex and gender data concepts that are known NOT to represent a gender identity, sex parameter for clinical use, or attributes related to sexuality, the type is used to identify what type of concept the recorded sex or gender concept is.

                                              For example, if a sex value is acquired from a driver's license, and the name of the field on that driver's license is 'SEX', then a code describing that field can be provided. If the semantics of the field are known, they may be described in the comment. For example, if the 'SEX' field on a license in a particular state or province is populated based on an individual's indication of what gender they consider themselves to be, but the field label is 'SEX' for historical reasons, a comment describing that the semantics of the field align with gender identity, even though the field name is 'SEX' can be provided.
