Data Model

Vocabularies

These codes are used to represent height measurements in the PEDSnet CDM.

Provenance

This concept set was developed to provide a PEDSnet data model equivalent to the PCORnet data model height specifications as part of the PRESERVE study. It was reused without modification for use in PEDSnet/COSMOS analyses as part of the PEDSnet CRN Phase 4 Infrastructure grant.

Description

This concept set contains codes pertaining to body height measurements. Unlike the PCORnet CDM, the PEDSnet CDM represents weight measurements using LOINC codes. The codes which should be used are specified in the PEDSnet ETL guidelines. A height measurement may be used to derive estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function.

Note: In the PEDSnet CDM, height is in centimeters. In the PCORnet CDM, height is in inches. It is advisable to review distributions of height across age to identify measurements which are using the unexpected unit.

Related Phenotype

Mild-to-Moderate Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease, Stages 3 to 5
Refreshed:2024-09
Phenotype for identifying a cohort of patients with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease for several analyses investigating the effects of factors such as etiology or blood pressure control on kidney function outcomes.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Refreshed:2024-01
A function to derive the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for a cohort of patients with existing serum creatinine and height measurements. eGFR values can be used to evaluate the presence and severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other kidney related conditions. Downloadable content for this Phenotype includes two R files (cohorts.R and driver.R) and a specs folder, which includes the related concept sets linked below.
Blood Pressure Z-Score
Refreshed:2022-04
A function for computing blood pressure z-scores in a given cohort of patients, which can be used to measure hypertension and blood pressure control. Downloadable content for this Phenotype includes two R files (cohorts.R and driver.R) and a specs folder, which includes the required concept sets.
