Longitudinal Patient Data Australia (IQVIA)

Overview

This vocabulary represents medicinal products available on the Australian market. The vocabulary is licensed by the IQVIA.

Transformation

The procedures for transforming Concepts from the source to the OMOP Standard Vocabularies can be found on the OHDSI GitHub.

Concept Names

The names of source concepts are assigned based on the set of available attributes, directly extracted from the source data.

Concept Code

The concept_code values related to source concepts (eg. Devices or fully defined drugs) are inherited from the source data, while attributive concepts (eg. Ingredients or Brand names) are OMOP-generated in the majority of cases.

Standard Concepts

All Drug concepts are Non-Standard. The majority of the concepts are mapped to standard drugs in the RxNorm, RxNorm Extension, or CVX vocabularies. The Device portion of vocabulary is standard.

Domains

All concepts belong to either Drug or Device domains.

The LPD_Australia concepts are either attributive (Ingredient, Brand Name, Dose Form, Supplier) or source entries (Device, Drug Product).
