Are there any recommendation on how to map NAACCR ‘Tobacco Use Smoking Status’ and ‘Alcohol Use Status’ to CDM, and whether / what to record as source_concept_ids?
Thank you,
Hannes
We will produce the NAACCR mapping soon.
I’ll stay peeled. Thank you!
@Christian_Reich it’s not about mapping only.
We have to update NAACCR in OMOP, since there are no such a concepts in Athena.
On the other hand, I can find ‘Tobacco Use Smoking Status’ in NAACCR DATA DICTIONARY, but can’t find the ‘Alcohol Use Status’,
@hannes can you please post the item_number for ‘Alcohol Use Status’ you use.
@Dymshyts Good catch. I found the ‘Alcohol History’ field in the dataset I have been working with. The item number is #350. However, I just found out that this item was retired in 2010. I did not find any rationale why. I have listed the observed values in the dataset below, though I think the request is now moot.
0 - No History of Alcohol
1 - Current Use of Alcohol
2 - Past History of Alcohol
9 - Alcohol Usage Unknown
Is this code widely used later than 2010 in your dataset?
It is a tumor registry with 60K records. Here are the record counts with Alcohol History for the years post 2012.
| Year | Record Count with #350 |
|---|---|
| 2011 | 4894 |
| 2012 | 4816 |
| 2013 | 4811 |
| 2014 | 5255 |
| 2015 | 5702 |
| 2016 | 5196 |
| 2017 | 5255 |
| 2018 | 5352 |
| 2019 | 4994 |
| 2020 | 8341 |
| 2021 | 60 |
| Total: | 54676 |
The low record count for 2021 reflects the typical lag in reporting.
Hm, seems those who filled the registry weren’t aware that this code was retired:)
Or they were, but as NAACCR doesn’t provide a replecament code, they used this one out of despair.
Anyway, when we do the NAACCR update we’ll map it to some more reliable terminology like SNOMED or LOINC.
Thank you.
