Rheumatology Auto-Immune characteristics

Dear,

To identify cases with auto-immune rheumatologic phenotye (for  NT198) we request information about auto-antibody (whether it was tested and what the restults were) and drug information (whether it was prescribed) for each patients that is enrolled in eMERGE. We are requesting every mention of any of the expanded generic drugs.

SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) using SLICC (Systemic Lupus Internation Collaborating Clinics) Criteria

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease that can affect many parts of the body including skin, lungs, brain, heart, kidneys, joints, and blood vessels. SLE presentation can vary significantly between patients. Because of this, it can be challenging to identify a patient as having SLE. Between 300,000 and 2,000,000 people in the US are estimated to have SLE. Determination of an exact number of people affected is challenging as the disease is difficult to identify given the diverse presentations and the length of time it may take for symptoms to appear.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

We used Vanderbilt’s Synthetic Derivative (SD), a de-identified version of the EHR, with 2.5 million subjects. We selected all individuals with at least one SLE ICD-9 code (710.0) yielding 5959 individuals. To create a training set, 200 were randomly selected for chart review. A subject was defined as a case if diagnosed with SLE by a rheumatologist, nephrologist, or dermatologist.

Type 1 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This document describes the Stanford University algorithm to extract individuals with diabetes and the type of diabetes from electronic health records (EHRs). There are two main tasks of this phenotype development: 1) to extract patients with diabetes (gestational diabetes is excluded), and 2) to discriminate between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Instead of identifying all diabetes cases, we aim to reduce the number of false positives in our diabetes cohort.
