AI Article Synopsis
- The OMOP Common Data Model (OMOP CDM) enables the storage and use of patient data in an international setting, but it currently has limitations in fully representing rare diseases.
- An interdisciplinary team created a Transition Database for Rare Diseases, integrating various medical terminologies, and developed a Rare Diseases Dashboard tailored for physicians at a German Center of Rare Diseases.
- These developments showcase that OMOP CDM can be adapted for diverse medical needs, facilitating international collaboration and improving patient care for those with rare diseases.
Article Abstract
The OMOP Common Data Model (OMOP CDM) is an option to store patient data and to use these in an international context. Up to now, rare diseases can only be partly described in OMOP CDM. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate which special features in the context of rare diseases (e.g. terminologies) have to be considered, how these can be included in OMOP CDM and how physicians can use the data. An interdisciplinary team developed (1) a Transition Database for Rare Diseases by mapping Orpha Code, Alpha ID, SNOMED, ICD-10-GM, ICD-10-WHO and OMOP-conform concepts; and (2) a Rare Diseases Dashboard for physicians of a German Center of Rare Diseases by using methods of user-centered design. This demonstrated how OMOP CDM can be flexibly extended for different medical issues by using independent tools for mappings and visualization. Thereby, the adaption of OMOP CDM allows for international collaboration, enables (distributed) analysis of patient data and thus it can improve the care of people with rare diseases.
