DRUG_EXPOSURE_ This is a reference listing of various types of Drug Exposures recorded for analysis. The Drug Exposure Type conveys the indicator(s) from which the Drug Exposure was captured, and defines the characteristic of the exposure and the level of aggregation. The Drug Exposure Types follow. Prescription Written (from Electronic Health Records) Medication History (from Electronic Health Records) Filled Prescription (from Pharmacy Claims) Drug from Procedure Code (from Medical Claims) Drug Era using a persistence window Field Data Type Required Description and Notes DRUG_EXPOSURE_TYPE VARCHAR(3) YES Predefined code for the type of Drug Exposure recorded. Drug Exposure type is used to define the data source and the type of representation of the Drug utilization recorded. DRUG_EXPOSURE_TYPE_DESC VARCHAR(120) YES Detailed description for the type of drug exposure recorded. PERSISTENCE_WINDOW INTEGER NO Persistence window used to build the drug era based on drug exposure data. Persistence window defines the longest time period between two instances of drug utilization for them to be considered as part of the same continuous exposure Applicable only to Drug Eras. Example of Loaded Table Reference data for Drug Exposure types are stored in the DRUG_EXPOSURE_ table, which includes the type codes identified and their detailed descriptions. The allowed Drug Exposure types and their descriptions are listed in Appendix A. CONDITION_URCE Condition Occurrences record individual instances of person conditions extracted from source data. Conditions are recorded in various data sources in different forms with varying levels of standardization. For example:
