Condition Type for long-term chronic disease

Hi there,

I am converting a database bringing claims data and hospital discharge data together. In these database I have 4 different types of diagnosis. Three coming from the hospital discharge summary: main diagnosis, related diagnosis and associated diagnosis; and one coming for the claims part called long-term chronic disease.

I am trying to figure out where to put each of these diagnosis according to Condition type.
For the hospital conditions, I was thinking about using “Primary condition” and “Secondary condition” but I don’t know what to do with the “long-term chronic disease”. I have not seen any concept_id matching with this idea of underlying permanent condition in the OMOP Condition occurence type.

Thank your for your help !
