CNExT - cnext_procedure_occurrence Possibly Missing Information #63

Closed lvarnedoe closed 2 years ago

lvarnedoe commented 2 years ago

I would think a transplant would be a procedure occurrence.

Also, the OMOP CDM description reads: This table contains records of activities or processes ordered by, or carried out by, a healthcare provider on the patient with a diagnostic or therapeutic purpose. Should chemo, radiation, immuno-therapy, etc... be included also?

lvarnedoe commented 2 years ago

Sorry, radiation is included, so should chemo, immuno-therapy, and hormone therapy also be included?

markmayer commented 2 years ago

After thinking about this and the overall OMOP model, I agree we should include all of those activities, even though some are captured in other tables (I.E., DRUG_EXPOSURE etc). If there is duplication, we can deal with it within the OMOP framework.

Addressed.
