Typically, it would be any flavor SQL, a cohort definition language, or a free-text description of the algorithm. |
| * The subject_concept_id determines what the individual subjects or entities of the Cohort consists of. In most cases, that would be a Person (patient). But cohorts could also be constructed for Providers, Visits or any other Domain. Note that the Domain is not codified using the alphanumerical domain_id like in the CONCEPT table. Instead, the corresponding Concept is used. The Concepts for each domain can be obtained from the DOMAIN table in the domain_concept_id. | * The subject_concept_id determines what the individual subjects or entities of the Cohort consists of.
