The COHORT_DEFINITION table contains records defining a Cohort derived from the data through the associated description and syntax and upon instantiation (execution of the algorithm) placed into the COHORT table. Cohorts are a set of subjects that satisfy a given combination of inclusion criteria for a duration of time. The COHORT_DEFINITION table provides a standardized structure for maintaining the rules governing the inclusion of a subject into a cohort, and can store operational programming code to instantiate the cohort within the OMOP Common Data Model. | The COHORT_DEFINITION table contains records defining a Cohort derived from the data through the associated description and syntax and upon instantiation (execution of the algorithm) placed into the COHORT table.

* 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.
