Abstract

A network data quality check which computes the overlap of patients across more than one domain or clinical characteristic. The combined count in the output is the number of patients meeting both cohort definitions when they occur within a specified time period of each other (i.e. events must occur within 30 days of one another).

Results of this check for the current data cycle can be explored on the PEDSnet Data Quality Dashboard. Data quality results for previous data cycles have been archived in the Domain Concordance Network Results collection.

Visualization Output

NOTE: The visualizations are NOT part of the packaged code. This description applies to the visualizations available on the PEDSnet Data Quality Dashboard.

There are three distinct ways to view the results of this module. The first is a bar graph with the proportion of patients only meeting the cohort 1 definition, the proportion of patients meeting both cohort definitions, and the proportion of patients only meeting the cohort 2 defintion.
The second is a bar graph that uses cohort 1 as the denominator – meaning out of all patients who meet the definition for cohort 1, how many also meet the definition for cohort 2 (i.e. out of all patients with an asthma diagnosis, how many also have a bronchodilator drug exposure).
The third is a bar graph that uses cohort 2 as the denominator – meaning out of all patients who meet the definition for cohort 2, how many also meet the definition for cohort 1 (i.e. out of all patients with an bronchodilator drug exposure, how many also have an asthma diagnosis)

Raw Output

This check produces a raw data output containing 8 columns of data:

Column Data Type Definition
value numeric the count of patients associated with the cohort
cohort character a label associated with the positioning of the cohort (1, 2, combined)
cohort_label character a descriptive label of each cohort
site character the name of the site being targeted
database_version character the database version from which the counts originated
check_type character a short string identifier for the module
check_name character a short string identifier for the check
check_desc character the cohort pair being evaluated

The [Network Data Quality (NDQ)](https://pedsnet.github.io/ndq/) package contains several data quality modules intended to evaluate the overall condition of the data in a clinical research network. These modules, which cover a broad range of data quality domains from conformance to plausibility, are flexible and can be configured to execute checks specific to desired use cases in both the OMOP and PCORnet common data models (CDMs).
