resolve-concept-sets

You can resolve OMOP concept sets by automating the expansion of INDICATE concept set expressions into comprehensive lists that include descendants and mappings. This process uses the resolve.py script configured with your local vocabulary sources for accurate clinical terminology retrieval.

OMOP vocabulary resolution is the process of converting concept set expressions into comprehensive lists of specific OMOP concepts, including descendants and mappings. You need it when updating medication lists or clinical variable definitions to ensure accurate terminology coverage in research projects.

You can resolve all INDICATE concept sets at once by entering 'all' as the input, or you can target specific sets by providing an individual concept set ID. Both methods use the resolve.py script to expand the sets against your local OMOP vocabularies.

Yes, you need a local OMOP vocabulary database configured as a source. The resolution process depends on these local vocabularies to accurately expand concept set expressions into detailed lists of OMOP concepts, including their descendants and mappings.

The best way to update clinical variable definitions is to automate the expansion of your concept set expressions into detailed OMOP concept lists. By running the resolve.py script against local vocabularies, you retrieve and validate the comprehensive terminology needed for accurate research variables.

OMOP concept set resolution may fail to include descendants if the local vocabulary sources are not properly configured in the script. Accurate processing requires correctly set up vocabulary sources to resolve the full hierarchy of mappings and descendants.
