Version 8 waits for a reviewed-by sign-off and cannot go live.
Rekha Bhandari proposed moving the altitude adjustment from the WHO 2001 table to the WHO 2024 curve for every row from 6 months up. Clinical safety review is required: hazard H-12, altitude over-correction labels highland patients anaemic.
Selection: the most specific matching row wins; a blank factor matches any patient.

No decision limits for haemoglobin
Add one when a guideline sets a fixed cut-off, such as WHO anaemia grading. Decision limits never replace the reference range.
