Describe the bug
The maximum value (e.g. max age of visit concept) can be considered sensitive information as it could pertain to the one person with this extreme value (e.g. the only person with an age of 100+ having visited the hospital).
Solution
Do not include the maximum age in the export. Minimum age is less sensitive.
Other considerations
As far as I could find, there are only two places where a distribution analysis is used: the 'Distribution of age at first observation period' and 'Visit Age Distribution' views. In the latter the min/max age is not shown (screenshot above). In the former, the min and max are displayed in the box-plot hover. Two follow-up items:
do we need all the distribution analyses to be exported? e.g. analysis_id 606, Distribution of age by procedure_concept_id, is not used in the dashboard but does make review of data export by data partner more complex.
do we need to redact the maximum age from the obs period view
