This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-statistics defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
average AverageThe [mean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_mean) of N measurements over the stated period
maximum MaximumThe [maximum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximal_element) value of N measurements over the stated period
minimum MinimumThe [minimum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_element) value of N measurements over the stated period
count CountThe [number] of valid measurements over the stated period that contributed to the other statistical outputs
totalcount Total CountThe total [number] of valid measurements over the stated period, including observations that were ignored because they did not contain valid result values
median MedianThe [median](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median) of N measurements over the stated period
std-dev standard deviationThe [standard deviation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation) of N measurements over the stated period
sum sumThe [sum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation) of N measurements over the stated period
variance varianceThe [variance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance) of N measurements over the stated period
%20 20th percentileThe 20th [Percentile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile) of N measurements over the stated period
%80 80th percentileThe 80th [Percentile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile) of N measurements over the stated period
4-lower lower quartileThe lower [Quartile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartile) Boundary of N measurements over the stated period
4-upper upper quartileThe upper [Quartile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartile) Boundary of N measurements over the stated period
4-dev quartile deviationThe difference between the upper and lower [Quartiles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartile) is called the Interquartile range. (IQR = Q3-Q1) Quartile deviation or Semi-interquartile range is one-half the difference between the first and the third quartiles.
5-1 1st quintileThe lowest of four values that divide the N measurementsinto a frequency distribution of five classes with each containing one fifth of the total population
5-2 2nd quintileThe second of four values that divide the N measurementsinto a frequency distribution of five classes with each containing one fifth of the total population
5-3 3rd quintileThe third of four values that divide the N measurementsinto a frequency distribution of five classes with each containing one fifth of the total population
5-4 4th quintileThe fourth of four values that divide the N measurementsinto a frequency distribution of five classes with each containing one fifth of the total population

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LevelA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance)
DisplayThe display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
