OMOP condition_occurrence has a start and end date #38

Open turbomam opened 4 years ago

turbomam commented 4 years ago

For the ICBO 2019 paper, I instantiated the OMOP condition_occurrence table like I instantiated PDS MDM DIAGNOSIS: each row is the output of an encouter, is about some patient, and mentions some code.

However... condition_occurrence has a non-null required condition_start_datetime column and a null-allowed condition_end_datetime column. This seems like more of semantic commitment on OHDSI's part. Should we therefore treat these rows as processes that the patient participated in? Or stick to the position that they are codes that were recorded and that they may or may not mean anything about reality.

consider basis/source ... can different actions be handled in on Acorn output specification?
