@Vojtech_Huser and I are moving a Vocabulary issue to a discussion on the forum.
What are people’s thoughts on implementing an analytical roll-up to LOINC classes.
I can see the new concepts in Athena.
E.g., here
http://www.ohdsi.org/web/atlas/#/concept/45876161
(and at the bottom)
Does anyone have documentation on how LOINC is ingested into ATHENA?
Exhibit 1
Tagging @Christian_Reich, @Dymshyts, @aostropolets
This is a great topic and I would like to know what people think. Basically, if I need to know average weight for each month if I am studying obesity (or average LDL cholesterol, or eGFR), there may be multiple LOINC codes contributing to my aggregated view of a given lab parameter (weight). (weight measured-by-nurse-in-office vs. weight self-reported )
PCORNet aggregates several LOINC into their “nice lab data row” but it would be nice to be able to do it (in OMOP) with R package or OMOP standardized query. I would point the method to a high level LOINC concept (weight), and it would support some smart aggregation.
This might be of interest: https://loinc.org/groups/
Friends:
We want to create conventions of what to use in LOINC, since it is so highly redundant. Please engage in the Focus Group 1 of THEMIS.
@mvanzandt - I’m guessing this hasn’t been fully addressed by THEMIS this round?
@Dymshyts or @aostropolets could your help @Vojtech_Huser out here?
@ericaVoss Documentation: we can show the scripts 
We take loinc files from the official site, convert them, assign classes and domains, all as usual. What are you particularly interested in? Classes?
It was @Vojtech_Huser’s question . . . @Vojtech_Huser, let @aostropolets know what you were interested in.
Actually, please add to the documentation in http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation:vocabulary:loinc.
