Dears,
There is a mismatch in the V2.79 LoincTableCore.csv file - please see printscreen.
Hi Alida,
These are not mismatches. These are actual changes we went through during this release as result of 2 activities with the goal of making LOINC parts more Machine Readable: Updating Component, and improving / enhancing descriptions as result of the collaboration work with SNOMED. You can see these changes in our download accessory files after we post the patch mentioned on our website (early next week). I can also help by posting a file with explanation of each activity for additional clarity (TBD).
Let me know if you have additional questions
Thank you
Eza

Dear Eza,
Thank you for clarifying. It would be great help if you can post the mentioned file.
We will wait for the patch to be released this week, before making use of the new V2.79.
Just to make sure I understand correctly, as an example:
MCV the LOINC code to reference would still be 787-2, even though the component name is ‘observation’.
We should focus our attention to the Lon Common Name, correct?
Thank you for your patience.
