Phenotypes by site and agreement with original phenotypes

Phenotype Site Time (days) Prevalence Overlap between original and OMOP phenotypes (number) Positive specific agreement Negative specific agreement Issues*
Overlap Original only OMOP only Neither
T2DM 1 <1 0.008 38 0 4 5465 0.950 1.000 OMOP query included “Diabetic oculopathy” even though it includes both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, leading to 3 FPs; original eMERGE query implementation differed from logic in original eMERGE description on how to handle problem list; noted need for Observation table
T2DM 2 <1 0.224 1179 95 30 4086 0.950 0.985 Original eMERGE query included “Diabetic macular edema” for type 1 diabetes even though it includes type 2; OMOP query missing “Diabetic oculopathy due to type I diabetes mellitus” for type 1 diabetes; database missing some lab codes; changes in RxNorm mappings over time
T2DM 3 23 0.087 242 381 250 4804 0.434 0.938 Missing and incorrect LOINC codes in database; reported that error was mainly in original eMERGE query
T2DM 4 <1 0.003 Did not have full labs in database
T2DM 5 <1 0.038 735 1165 18 396 0.554 0.401 Erroneous and missing source data due to EHR merger
T2DM 6 <1 0.108 (No additional issues)
T2DM 7 144 0.191 3139 819 1588 19143 0.723 0.941 Drugs in database were not coded so rewrote medication component; difficulty debugging without OHDSI stack; did NOT compare to the original eMERGE query but to a site-specific query
T2DM 8 <1 0.022 OMOP vocabulary files were loaded as empty string instead of null
T2DM 9 <1 (No additional issues)
ADHD 1 <1 0.001 7 0 0 5500 1.000 1.000 (No additional issues)
ADHD 2 <1 0.004 23 11 1 5355 0.793 0.999 Some coding issues around descendants in OMOP query, e.g., exclusion concept “Organic mental disorder” had concept “Postconcussion syndrome” as a descendant but should not be excluded.
ADHD 3 <1 0.003 (No additional issues)
ADHD 4 <1 0.123 1761 507 48 12282 0.864 0.978 Drugs for alternate visit types not migrated to OMOP database (388 of 507 mismatches); original query added ADHD “predominantly inattentive type” not in definition (187 of 507 mismatches); OMOP query did not distinguish in-person encounters but original eMERGE query used only in-person encounter inclusion codes and all exclusion codes; missing some exclusions in OMOP query compared to definition; original eMERGE query did not include ICD10-CM exclusion diagnoses; OMOP query used year count instead of exact days for age requirement
ADHD 5 Did not have permission for retrospective mental health
ADHD 6 84 0.017 65 15 19 4861 0.793 0.997 Additional medications were added to the original eMERGE query because the site had only adults; original query added “Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominantly inattentive type”; two years of data were added to the database for the OMOP query
ADHD 7 <1 0.008 (No additional issues)
ADHD 8 14 0.002 Rewrote OMOP query to use ICD codes instead of SNOMED CT
ADHD 9 <1 Lab codes were manually mapped to LOINC
*

Most sites additionally commented on the need to map the schema names in the OMOP query to local schema names and to create an empty cohort definition
