Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | Bowel cancer screening typically involves the application of a faecal occult blood test (FOBT), in which FOBT are tested in a laboratory for the presence of blood. CODE 1 Positive Blood was detected in either faecal sample. CODE 2 Negative Blood was not detected in either faecal sample. CODE 3 Inconclusive Only one faecal sample was taken and it was negative. CODE 4 No result No result was detected in either faecal sample. CODE 1F Positive - faulty Blood was detected in either faecal sample, however the test provided was inaccurate and results should be disregarded. CODE 2F Negative - faulty Blood was not detected in either faecal sample, however the test provided was inaccurate and results should be disregarded. CODE 3F Inconclusive - faulty Only one faecal sample was taken and it was negative, however the test provided was inaccurate and results should be disregarded. CODE 4F No result - faulty No result was detected in either faecal sample, however the test provided was inaccurate and results should be disregarded. |

Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Bowel cancer screening test cluster Health, Superseded 16/01/2020 DSS specific information: A faecal occult blood test (FOBT) screening test is:
Other screening tests, when they become available, may have different indications for positive results. However, a positive result with any screening test is one that means further investigations are required. Participants with a positive result are encouraged to visit their primary health care professional to follow up this finding. Those with an inconclusive result are requested to complete another FOBT kit, while those with a negative result are reminded that it is recommended they rescreen every two years. At this stage, the screening pathway does not account for false negatives or positives.
