Hi all,
thanks a lot for your effort. Looking forward to see how this proposal is implemented in OMOP.
I have a question about the mappings between ICD-03 and SNOMED proposal. There should be mappings in the concept_relationship table with relationship_id = “Has associated morphology”. I could not find any value with that relationship_id. Nevertheless I saw that (in my loaded version of the vocabularies) there are around 60k of relations with relationship_id = “Has asso morph”. The same number of relationships were found with relationship_id = “Asso morph”. Not sure if this is a redundancy in the concept_relationship table but I wanted to highlight it to the community.
Furthermore, is there any interest in creating standard concepts for tumor stages that are not covered by SNOMED? For instance, the BCLC (Barcelona clinic liver cancer stage) and the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System but the International Neuroblastoma Staging System are currently not described by SNOMED or any standard vocabulary in OMOP.
Ah, and by the way. I noticed that the workgroup is not listed in the OHDSI wiki (http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=projects:overview). Perhaps adding it there would increase the community’s interest on the wg
