ArithmeticPhenotype

Bases: ComputationGraphPhenotype

ArithmeticPhenotype is a composite phenotype that performs arithmetic operations using the value column of its component phenotypes and populations the value column. It should be used for calculating values such as BMI, GFR or converting units. --> See the comparison table of CompositePhenotype classes

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
expression ComputationGraph

The arithmetic expression to be evaluated composed of phenotypes combined by python arithmetic operations.

required
return_date Union[str, Phenotype]

The date to be returned for the phenotype. Can be "first", "last", or a Phenotype object.

'first'
name str

The name of the phenotype.

None

Attributes:

Name Type Description
table PhenotypeTable

The resulting phenotype table after filtering (None until execute is called)

Example:

# Create component phenotypes individually
height = MeasurementPhenotype(Codelist('height'))
weight = MeasurementPhenotype(Codelist('weight'))

# Create the ArithmeticPhenotype that defines the BMI score
bmi = ArithmeticPhenotype(
    expression = weight / height**2,
)

namespaced_table property

A PhenotypeTable has generic column names 'person_id', 'boolean', 'event_date', and 'value'. The namespaced_table appends the phenotype name to all of these columns. This is useful when joining multiple phenotype tables together.

Returns:

Name Type Description
table Table

The namespaced table for the current phenotype.

execute(tables)

Executes the phenotype computation for the current object and its children. This method recursively iterates over the children of the current object and calls their execute method if their table attribute is None.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
tables Dict[str, PhenexTable]

A dictionary mapping table names to PhenexTable objects. See phenex.mappers.DomainsDictionary.get_mapped_tables().

required

Returns:

Name Type Description
table PhenotypeTable

The resulting phenotype table containing the required columns. The PhenotypeTable will contain the columns: PERSON_ID, EVENT_DATE, VALUE. DATE is determined by the return_date parameter. VALUE is different for each phenotype. For example, AgePhenotype will return the age in the VALUE column. A MeasurementPhenotype will return the observed value for the measurement. See the specific phenotype of interest to understand more.
