The CDM defines table structures in a person-centric way. At a minimum, the tables have a foreign key into the Person table and a date. This allows for a longitudinal view on all the healthcare-relevant events. The exceptions from this rule are the standardized health system data tables, which are linked directly to events of the various domains. | The CDM defines table structures in a person-centric way.

- | |COHORT_ATTRIBUTE|The COHORT_ATTRIBUTE table contains attributes associated with each subject within a cohort, as defined by a given set of inclusion criteria for a duration of time.

- | |DRUG_ERA|A Drug Era is defined as a span of time when the Person is assumed to be exposed to a particular active ingredient. A Drug Era is not the same as a Drug Exposure: Exposures are individual records corresponding to the source when drug was delivered to the Person, while successive periods of Drug Exposures are combined under certain rules to produce continuous Drug Eras.| | + | |DRUG_ERA|A Drug Era is defined as a span of time when the Person is assumed to be exposed to a particular active ingredient, i.e. successive periods of Drug Exposures combined under certain rules to produce continuous Drug Eras.| |
