Implementing a common definition of diabetes in register data #75

Open lwjohnst86 opened 6 months ago

lwjohnst86 commented 6 months ago

Hi everyone @board

I’m about to start implementing the OSDC diabetes classification algorithm in the DARTER project on Statistics Denmark.

The algorithm will also need to be extended and modified to accomodate newer/older data formats and additional use cases. As we discussed at the Epi group day, I want to set up a steering group to guide this effort, and I would like to invite everyone with an interest in the topic. If you want to join, please leave a comment on this card or send me an email (andaas@rm.dk) and I will arrange a group meeting in January to kick things off.

The ultimate aim is to convert the algorithm into an R package that allows researchers to easily generate their study populations based on a common and validated algorithm.

So naturally, the package will be developed on GitHub: :smile:
