Description
For itemid 51249, the valueuom is sometimes recorded as 'g/dL' and sometimes as '%', although it should seemingly be 'g/dL' consistently.
I don't know if this problem appears for some other itemids.
Edit: same issue with itemid 50889 and valueuom sometimes NA sometimes mg/L.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the hosp.labevents records for itemids 51249 and 50889, focusing on the valueuom values and their source or transformation path. Determine whether the inconsistency is in the data or repository processing; the issue does not specify a file, test, or definitive correction, so completion criteria need clarification.
