August 2024 release upcoming changes

Please check out GitHub Upcoming Changes section to learn about what will be implemented in the upcoming August release.

TLDR:

The release will provide you with a new vocabulary for clinical trial data, more new terms, more mappings and more informations about the mappings (meta-data table). No significant impact on ETL/phenotyping processes is expected.

A longer version:

  • A brand-new table capturing concept and relationship meta-data will be distributed;
  • pack_content (table that stores drug pack info) will be distributed through Github;
  • A new vocabulary (СDISC) will be added;
  • Several source vocabularies will be refreshed (GitHub provides specific versions): ATC, LOINC, SNOMED, MedDRA, HCPCS, CPT4, CMS Place of Service, ICD10CM and EDI
  • Several adjustments were made to SNOMED concepts’ domain;
  • More mappings were added for MedDRA, HCPCS, CPT4, ICD10PCS, ATC and ICD condition family;
  • Specifically, ATC will get more precise relationships as we changed our approach for ATC-RxNorm relationship construction to learn from US and international drug vocabularies and data sources.

As a lot of work has been done, there is a lot of people to thank:

First, our community contributors: @SCYou and Yijoo, @Dymshyts, our PPI collaborators, @gongliangz and more.

Then, those who participated in the meta-data conversations and contributed their expertise: @Polina_Talapova, @Andrew, @matentzn and others.

Finally, those without whom the release wouldn’t happen (in a non-descriptive order :slight_smile: ): @ratuat, @zhuk, @Mikita_Salavei, @Alexdavv, @Vlad_Korsik, @Varvara_Savitskaya, @Maria_Khitrun, @TatianaSkugarevskaya, @Irina_Zherko and Alaiksei Katyshou.
