Transformation

The procedures for transforming Concepts from the source to the OMOP Standard Vocabularies can be found on the OHDSI GitHub.

The names of source concepts are assigned based on the set of available attributes, directly extracted from the source data.

All codes for both attributive and source concepts with vocabulary are inherited from source data.

All Drug concepts are Non-Standard. The majority of the concepts are mapped to standard drugs in the RxNorm, RxNorm Extension, or CVX vocabularies. The Device portion of vocabulary is standard.

All concepts belong to either Drug or Device domains.

The LPD_Belgium concepts are either attributive (Dose Form) or source entries (Device, Drug Product).

Dose Form

Device

Drug Product

LPD_Belgium concepts with drug properties are mapped to Standard Concepts (originating from RxNorm, RxNorm Extension, or CVX vocabularies) through records in the CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP table.

LPD_Belgium Concepts are mostly non-Standard Concepts and therefore do not participate in the hierarchy of the CONCEPT_ANCESTOR table.
