| ==== Conventions ==== | ==== Conventions ==== | ||
| - | * Like with Cohorts, the unifying definition or feature of any Cohort Attribute is captured in the cohort_definition_id. | + | * Each record in the COHORT_ATTRIBUTE table is linked to a specific record in the COHORT table, identified by matching cohort_definition_id, subject_id, cohort_start_date and cohort_end_date fields. |
| - | * Cohort Attribute records must have a Start Date | + | * It adds to the Cohort records calculated co-variates (for example age, BMI) or composite scales (for example Charleson index). |
| - | * Cohort Attribute records must have an End Date, but may be set to Start Date or could apply a censored date using the Observation Period Start Date. | + | * The unifying definition or feature of the Cohort Attribute is captured in the attribute_definition_id referring to a record in the ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION table. |
| - | * Cohort Attribute records must contain a Subject ID, which can refer to a Person, Provider, or Visit record. The cohort definition will define the type of subject through the subject concept id. | + | * The actual result or value of the Cohort Attribute (co-variate, index value) is captured in the value_as_number (if the value is numberic) or the value_as_concept_id (if the value is a concept) fields. |
