Seeking Volunteers: Help Create and Manage Tracking Spreadsheet

Hey everyone,

We are seeking volunteers to assist in converting the OHDSI_2025_GuidelineDrivenEvidencePhenotypeNeeds_28Jan2025.xlsx dataset from its current wide format to a long format. This restructuring is crucial for our ongoing efforts in the OHDSI 2025 Guideline-driven Evidence Phenotype initiative.

Objective:

Transform the dataset so that each row represents a single phenotype, with specific attributes detailed in separate columns.

Target Long-Form Structure something like:

Each row should include the following columns

  1. phenotypeName – The name of the phenotype.
  2. phenotypeType – Classification such as indication, target, comparator, or outcome.
  3. needPhenotypeDevEval – Indicates whether phenotype development and evaluation are needed (e.g., drug cohorts).
  4. similarCohortsInOhdsiPl – References to any similar cohorts in the OHDSI Phenotype Library.
  5. canReuseCohortsInOhdsiPl – Specifies if existing cohorts in the OHDSI Phenotype Library can be reused.
  6. linkToLiteratureSearch – URLs or references to literature supporting the phenotype
  7. studyLeadsNeedPhenotype – Names of study leads who require this phenotype.
  8. targetClinicalDescription – A detailed clinical description of the phenotype.
  9. candidateCohortDefinitions – Any candidate cohort definitions; track contributions from the community. Use atlas-demo.ohdsi.org
