This table already exists, we just never put it into the CDM documentation and haven't included it in the vocabulary zip file. This would be the chapter:


Table Description

The PACK_CONTENT table contains structured content of drug Packs. Packs are fixed combination of Drugs (Clinical Drugs, Branded Drug, Quant Clin Drug, Quant Branded Drug, Marketed Product without box size information). For example, contraceptives contain a certain amount of progesteron drug and estrogen preparations, sufficient for a month. This table is supplemental information to support standardized analysis of drug utilization.

User Guide

ETL Conventions

The content of the table is part of the OHDSI Standardized Vocabularies and should be loaded with each release.

CDM Field User Guide ETL Conventions Datatype Required Primary Key Foreign Key FK Table FK Domain
pack_concept_id The Concept representing the Pack. N/A integer Yes No Yes CONCEPT  
drug_concept_id The Concept representing the individual drug component inside the Pack. N/A integer Yes No Yes CONCEPT  
amount The number of the above Drug  components in the Pack. N/A integer No No No    
box_size The number of Packs in a Drug Box. N/A integer No No No

To iterate on importance of this: currently, any and all HADES tools (e.g. those deriving DOSE_ERA) requiring drug dosage information ever only query the DRUG_STRENGTH table. At the same time, when source drug concepts are standardized to OMOP, the PACK_CONTENT table is populated with non-redundant data. That means that in current definition of OMOP CDM, actual dosage information for "pack-shaped" concepts is irretrievable.

Although use of DOSE_ERA as well as dosage information in general in OMOP is rare, this needs to be fixed.

Potential concerns over drug_era calculations downstream. Based on @ekorchmar's comment above we should create a child issue detailing any updates to dose calculations that need to be implemented with the addition of the pack_content table
