 +This table had the field denominator_value added with version 5.0.1 (5-Apr-2016) of the OMOP CDM.

 The DRUG_STRENGTH table contains structured content about the amount or concentration and associated units of a specific ingredient contained within a particular drug product. This table is supplemental information to support standardized analysis of drug utilization. ​ The DRUG_STRENGTH table contains structured content about the amount or concentration and associated units of a specific ingredient contained within a particular drug product.

   * If the concentration is provided (for example '​Acetaminophen 48 MG/ML Oral Solution'​) the numerator_value in combination with the numerator_unit_concept_id and denominator_unit_concept_id are used to define this content (in this case 48, '​MG'​ and '​ML'​). ​   * If the concentration is provided (for example '​Acetaminophen 48 MG/ML Oral Solution'​) the numerator_value in combination with the numerator_unit_concept_id and denominator_unit_concept_id are used to define this content (in this case 48, '​MG'​ and '​ML'​). ​
   * In case of Quantified Clinical or Branded Drugs the denominator_value contains the total amount of the solution (not the amount of the ingredient). In all other drug concept classes the denominator amount is NULL because the concentration is always normalized to the unit of the denominator. So, a product containing 960 mg in 20 mL is provided as 48 mg/mL in the Clinical Drug and Clinical Drug Component, while as a Quantified Clinical Drug it is written as 960 mg/20 mL.   * In case of Quantified Clinical or Branded Drugs the denominator_value contains the total amount of the solution (not the amount of the ingredient).

-  * Strength ​provided in % (volume or mass-percent are not distinguished) ​the amount ​is stored in the numerator_value/​numerator_unit_concept_id field combination,​ with both the denominator_value and denominator_unit_concept_id set to NULL. If it is a Quantified Drug the total volume ​is provided in the denominator_value/​denominator_unit_concept_id pair. E.g., the 30 G Isoconazole 2% Topical Cream is provided as 2% / in Clinical Drug and Clinical Drug Component, and as 2% /30 G. +  * If the strength is provided in % (volume or mass-percent are not distinguished) ​it is stored in the numerator_value/​numerator_unit_concept_id field combination,​ with both the denominator_value and denominator_unit_concept_id set to NULL.

-  * Sometimes, one Ingredient is listed with different units within the same drug. This is very rare, and usually this happens if there are more than one Precise Ingredient. For example, '​Penicillin G, Benzathine 150000 UNT/ML / Penicillin G, Procaine 150000 MEQ/ML Injectable Suspension'​ contains Penicillin G in two different forms. ​+  * Sometimes, one Ingredient is listed with different units within the same drug.

 +  * Sometimes, different ingredients in liquid drugs are listed with different units in the denominator_unit_concept_id. This is usually the case if the ingredients are liquids themselves (concentration provided as mL/mL) or solid substances (mg/mg). In these cases, the general assumptions is made that the density of the drug is that of water, and one can assume 1 g = 1 mL.
