Add disease_profile module in donor_organism

Closed this issue · 0 comments

For which schema is a change/update being suggested?

I would like to request an update to the donor_organism.json schema.

What should the change/update be?

Add a new module named disease_profile that would record specific disease measurements, categories, and characteristics.

This update constitutes a major change to the schema(s) it affects.

What new field(s) need to be changed/added?

  • copd_gold_stage
  • copd_mmrc_grade
  • copd_cat_score
  • copd_gold_abe_assessment
  • copd_phenotype
  • copd_emphysema_percentage

Why is the change requested?

Lung bionetwork is interested in recording specific disease characteristics for the COPD donors in their Tier 2 metadata. Oral and Craniofacial as well has requested many fields to record the profile of Peri-implantitis, periodontitis, Sjögren's disease etc. For this reason we decided to group these fields in this specific module. Each field name will begin with the disease name or a shorten disease name.
