The solution here is to make it so that, in extract_code_metadata
, if the metadata_config
(e.g., https://github.com/mmcdermott/MEDS_transforms/blob/main/MIMIC-IV_Example/configs/event_configs.yaml#L217) sets a code part column to null
, such as that shown below:
meas_chartevents_main:
description: ["omop_concept_name", "label"] # List of strings are columns to be collated
itemid: "itemid (omop_source_code)"
parent_codes: "{omop_vocabulary_id}/{omop_concept_code}"
valueuom: null
then the system identifies from the set of allowed codes all those codes that would match the code constructed for the surrounding event with a valueuom
set to null and takes a cross-product join between the metadata rows and all matching codes.
This leaves it up to the user to identify which parts of the code are subsidiary on a case by case basis. This will make it trickier to work with a more expressive code parser language in the future, as this will only work if we can deconstruct realized codes into code parts, but that's ok for now.
This is not actively causing any issues given #156 has been resolved, so I've lowered the priority.
