论文摘要
临床概念词典通常为电子医疗保健记录中的常规收集的数据提供了基础。这些来源的数据集越来越多地用于研究目的，但是如果没有其他工具，由于其设计，大小和复杂的性质，可能很难与这些词典有效地工作。为了改善这种情况，创建了Clinconcept软件包，为研究人员提供了一种直接的方式，以构建，管理和询问包含Commonly使用的临床概念词典的数据库。本文介绍了软件包背后的理由，如何安装和使用它以及如何扩展它以支持其他数据源。
Routinely collected data in electronic healthcare records are often underpinned by clinical concept dictionaries. Increasingly data sets from these sources are being made available and used for research purposes, but without additional tooling it can be difficult to work effectively with these dictionaries due to their design, size and complex nature. In an effort to improve this situation the clinconcept package was created to provide a straightforward way for researchers to build, manage and interrogate databases containing commmonly used clinical concept dictionaries. This article describes the rationale behind the package, how to install it and use it and how it can be extended to support other data sources.
