Hello everyone!! I’m working on my first OMOP project and I have a question. What is the case with some Concepts like Body Surface Area (id: 4201235) which has class Observable Entity but Measurement domain? Does this have to go to measurement table or Observation table?
Hello, @manoshatzak
Concept classes represent semantic or hierarchical categories provided by the source (i.e. Observable Entity is a SNOMED semantic category). In some cases, they match the domain_id assigned by OMOP, but mostly they don’t.
In OMOP it’s the domain_id that is supposed to specify the CDM table and field where a concept is stored.
So, in your case, the Body Surface Area concept belongs to the Measurement domain and goes to the Measurement table.
Kind regards,
Masha
