DeathPhenotype

DeathPhenotype

Bases: Phenotype

DeathPhenotype is a class that represents a death-based phenotype. It filters individuals who have died and returns their date of death.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	Optional[str]	Name of the phenotype, default is 'death'.	'DEATH'
domain	str	Domain of the phenotype, default is 'PERSON'.	'PERSON'
relative_time_range	Union[RelativeTimeRangeFilter, List[RelativeTimeRangeFilter]]	Filter patients relative to some date (e.g. death after discharge from hospital)	None

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
table	PhenotypeTable	The resulting phenotype table after filtering (None until execute is called)

dependencies property

Recursively collect all dependencies of a node (including dependencies of dependencies).

Returns:

Type	Description
Set[Node]	List[Node]: A list of Node objects on which this Node depends.

dependency_graph property

Build a dependency graph where each node maps to its direct dependencies (children).

Returns:

Type	Description
Dict[Node, Set[Node]]	Dict[Node, Set[Node]: A mapping of Node's to their children Node's.

namespaced_table property

A PhenotypeTable has generic column names 'person_id', 'boolean', 'event_date', and 'value'. The namespaced_table prepends 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.

reverse_dependency_graph property

Build a reverse dependency graph where each node maps to nodes that depend on it (parents).

Returns:

Type	Description
Dict[Node, Set[Node]]	Dict[Node, List[Node]: A mapping of Node's to their parent Node's.

execute(tables=None, con=None, overwrite=False, lazy_execution=False, n_threads=1)

Executes the Node computation for the current node and its dependencies. Supports lazy execution using hash-based change detection to avoid recomputing Node's that have already executed.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
tables	Dict[str, Table]	A dictionary mapping domains to Table objects.	None
con	Optional[object]	Connection to database for materializing outputs. If provided, outputs from the node and all children nodes will be materialized (written) to the database using the connector.	None
overwrite	bool	If True, will overwrite any existing tables found in the database while writing. If False, will throw an error when an existing table is found. Has no effect if con is not passed.	False
lazy_execution	bool	If True, only re-executes if the node's definition has changed. Defaults to False. You should pass overwrite=True with lazy_execution as lazy_execution is intended precisely for iterative updates to a node definition. You must pass a connector (to cache results) for lazy_execution to work.	False
n_threads	int	Max number of Node's to execute simultaneously when this node has multiple children.	1

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
Table	Table	The resulting table for this node. Also accessible through self.table after calling self.execute().
