Phase 2: Illustrative analysis following CDM conversion
Following OMOP-CDM conversion, we repurposed relevant components of code written for a previously published OMOP-CDM-based study on treatment pathways by Hripcsak et al.12 Given that the code had been written for analyzing OMOP-CDM converted data to understand drug utilization patterns in chronic disease management, many code segments were reusable with simple modifications for the purposes of this study.12
