Are you using the tidyverse with an OMOP Common Data Model?
Interact with your CDM in a pipe-friendly way with CDMConnector.
- Quickly connect to your CDM and start exploring.
- Build data analysis pipelines using familiar dplyr verbs.
- Easily extract subsets of CDM data from a database.
Overview
CDMConnector introduces a single R object that represents an OMOP CDM relational database inspired by the dm, DatabaseConnector, and Andromeda packages. The cdm objects encapsulate references to OMOP CDM tables in a remote RDBMS as well as metadata necessary for interacting with a CDM, allowing for dplyr style data analysis pipelines and interactive data exploration.
Features
CDMConnector is meant to be the entry point for composable tidyverse style data analysis operations on an OMOP CDM. A cdm_reference
object behaves like a named list of tables.
- Quickly create a list of references to a subset of CDM tables
- Store connection information for later use inside functions
- Use any DBI driver back-end with the OMOP CDM
See Getting started for more details.
Installation
CDMConnector can be installed from CRAN:
install.packages("CDMConnector")
The development version can be installed from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("darwin-eu/CDMConnector")
Usage
Create a cdm reference from any DBI connection to a database containing OMOP CDM tables. Use the cdm_schema argument to point to a particular schema in your database that contains your OMOP CDM tables and the write_schema to specify the schema where results tables can be created, and use cdm_name to provide a name for the database.
library(CDMConnector)
con <- DBI::dbConnect(duckdb::duckdb(dbdir = eunomia_dir()))
cdm <- cdm_from_con(con = con,
cdm_schema = "main",
write_schema = "main",
cdm_name = "my_duckdb_database")
## Note: method with signature 'DBIConnection#Id' chosen for function 'dbExistsTable',
## target signature 'duckdb_connection#Id'.
## "duckdb_connection#ANY" would also be valid
A cdm_reference
is a named list of table references:
## [1] "person" "observation_period" "visit_occurrence"
## [4] "visit_detail" "condition_occurrence" "drug_exposure"
## [7] "procedure_occurrence" "device_exposure" "measurement"
## [10] "observation" "death" "note"
## [13] "note_nlp" "specimen" "fact_relationship"
## [16] "location" "care_site" "provider"
## [19] "payer_plan_period" "cost" "drug_era"
## [22] "dose_era" "condition_era" "metadata"
## [25] "cdm_source" "concept" "vocabulary"
## [28] "domain" "concept_class" "concept_relationship"
## [31] "relationship" "concept_synonym" "concept_ancestor"
## [34] "source_to_concept_map" "drug_strength"
Use dplyr verbs with the table references.
