| - | If the days_supply and the drug_exposure_end_date fields essentially designate the same thing they are therefore duplicates of the same information and create the danger of of inconsistency. One of them could be dropped. | + | Relevant table: http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation:cdm:drug_exposure |

| + | The verbatim_end_dat field is only necessary as the drug_exposure_end_date becomes mandatory, and might be (wrongly) inferred. In cases where no good data are available to fill that end_date, the ETL will have to take a guess, and that may not satisfy some algorithms for dose calculation. | ||
