Comment (by jhe):
Due to travel and other meetings, John, Jeff, Scott, and Wendy finally met
all together on 21st (Scott and Wendy met on Nov 7, Scott, Wendy, and John
met on Nov 14).
The major issue for ALS cohort characterization is to identify variables
needed. We went through a list Jeff made in October but many of them do
not identify enough records. At the meeting, we decoded to use ICD9 code
to identify variables for comobidities. John provided a list of ICD9 codes
for creating charlson comobidity code and Jeff will find ICD 9 codes for
other variables. Identifing medications remains an issue.
