OHDSI Study: Comparative effectiveness of alendronate and raloxifene in reducing the risk of hip fracture

Our claims data (recently converted to OMOP) spans only 365 days and the study requires at least 365+90 - so we cannot participate. :disappointed:


Before the study gets executed, perhaps this OHDSI study could be the first that in addition to table 1 (overview of population) also presents data on data quality.

A paper by Kahn at al argued for a table 1a that would present data for observational studies.
See it here.

The current code in terms of metadata only gets

createMetaData <- function(connectionDetails, cdmDatabaseSchema, exportFolder) {
    conn <- DatabaseConnector::connect(connectionDetails)
    sql <- "SELECT * FROM @cdm_database_schema.cdm_source"

Perhaps this could be extended (before final execution). (and I would be happy to contribute to coding that, since I am suggesting it)

The OHDSI [DataQuality]
(StudyProtocolSandbox/DataQuality at master · OHDSI/StudyProtocolSandbox · GitHub) package tries to reduce the number of attributes about a dataset (instead of all Achilles results data it has a much reduced subset of parameters) that a site could share and that is vastly less “sensitive”.
This could also be be just a tiny handful of parameters: (1) size of dataset population (as a size category [not exact size]) (perhaps just patients with at least 365+90 days in at least one obs period) (2) “level of inpatient-ness (% of outpatient visits out of all visits recorded); (3) level of claims-ness vs EHR-ness(e.g., % of patients with weight recorded) and some temporal span measures. I recently made a proposal to Data Quality Collaborative for MIAD (minimum information about a dataset) (as a similar concept to MIAME (minimum information about a microarray experiment).
