Geriatric
Depression
Depression accounts for substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide and risk of experiencing it may have a genetic component. Depressive disorders manifest along a gradient from mild to severe.[1] Electronic health record (EHR) data linked to large, multi-site biobanks[2] facilitate exploration of the genetic component of depression.
Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis
An algorithm for finding patients with diverticulosis, and of those, patients who also have diverticulitis, and to also find control patients. Control patients will have had a colonoscopy but have no evidence of diverticula.
Simple NLP (a portable program is posted here, with instructions, and support is availabe from NU as needed) of colonoscopy reports is the gold standard algorithm, but if the text of colonoscopy reports is not available, an alternate algorithm using CPT & ICD-9 codes can be used, which is also posted.
Functional seizures
Algorithm to detect functional seizures, also known as:
Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures
Nonepileptic attack disorder
Pseudoseizures
Hystero-epilepsy
Conversion disorder with seizures
Dissociative Seizures
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Phenotype Algorithm
Hearing Loss
Phenotype Description: individuals with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)
Below are algorithms used to identify individuals with SNHL at BioVU. If you have questions regarding any of the information presented on this page, you may contact either:

Ovarian/Uterine Cancer (OvUtCa)
The KPWA/UW-led ovarian/uterine cancer phenotype has been validated at Mayo Clinic, the secondary phenotype development site. Validation results at both the primary and secondary sites were strong and the phenotype is ready for network wide implementation. The pseudo code document posted 11/30/2017 is correct as is and should be used by network sites for phenotype implementation. A validated data dictionary of covariates for this phenotype will be added to PheKB by 2/15/2018, but sites are encouraged to begin implementing the phenotype algorithm now.
PGx medication risk prediction model
This algorithm predicts those who are going to be exposed to warfarin, simvastatin, or clopidogrel as three medications that have known pharmacogenomic influences. This algorithm was used to select individuals for the Vanderbilt PREDICT (Pharmacogenomic Resource for Enhanced Decisions in Care & Treatment) program, which prospectively tests individuals at risk of needing medications whose efficacy is effected by genetic variants.
For more information on PREDICT, see http://mydruggenome.org.
Pneumonia- VUMC eMERGE v5.1
Identify bacterial pneumonia, similar to that reported with genetic association risk in CD143 and TLR4 A229G in literature.
Resistant hypertension
This algorithm describes the ongoing resistant hypertension algorithm used in eMERGE, which was a network phenotype within the eMERGE-I and eMERGE-II sites.
