Run the drug type check

The name drug type may be misleading. It refers to whether the drugs records are prescriptions or claims or similar. The whole list of drug types can be seen in athena. https://athena.ohdsi.org/search-terms/terms?conceptClass=Drug+Type&invalidReason=Valid&page=1&pageSize=15&query=&boosts

Drug Type Overall

This shows the drug type of the drug records summarised on ingredient level.

datatable(acetaminophen_checks$drugTypesOverall,
  rownames = FALSE
)
Column Description
ingredient_concept_id Concept ID of ingredient.
ingredient Name of drug ingredient.
drug_type_concept_id Concept ID of drug type
drug_type Concept name for drug type
n_records Number of records for ingredient concept. If n_records is the same as n_sample this means that there are more records but the number was cut at the pre-specified sample number for efficiency reasons.
n_sample The pre-specified maximum sample. If n_records is smaller than the sample it means that sampling was ignored because the total number of records was already too small.
n_person Number of individuals.
result_obscured TRUE if count has been suppressed due to being below the minimum cell count, otherwise FALSE.

Drug Type by drug concept

This shows the drug type of the drug records on the drug concept level. The tables are identical to the overall just including two more columns at the beginning.

Column Description
drug_concept_id ID of the drug concept.
drug Name of the drug concept.
datatable(acetaminophen_checks$drugTypesByConcept,
  rownames = FALSE
)
