Clostridium Difficile Colitis

Clostridium difficile, also known as "C. diff," is a species of bacteria that causes severe diarrhea and other intestinal disease when competing bacteria in the gut have been wiped out by antibiotics (see Wikipedia entry). In rare cases a C. diff infection can progress to toxic megacolon which can be life-threatening. In a very small percentage of the adult population C. difficile bacteria naturally reside in the gut. Other people accidentally ingest spores of the bacteria while patients in a hospital or nursing home.

Depression

Depression accounts for substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide and risk of experiencing it may have a genetic component.  Depressive disorders manifest along a gradient from mild to severe.[1]  Electronic health record (EHR) data linked to large, multi-site biobanks[2] facilitate exploration of the genetic component of depression.

Developmental Language Disorder

APT-DLD
Version 1.0, July 2020

Automated Phenotyping Tool for identifying DLD cases in health-systems data (APT-DLD) is an algorithm for classifying/identifying developmental language disorder cases in electronic health records system data. APT-DLD can be used to:
1. Identify pediatric DLD cases from electronic health record systems using ICD9 and ICD10 codes
2. Study epidemiology and population-level charateristics of DLD from EHRs

The How-To guide for using APT-DLD is provided in the files listed below.

Digital Rectal Exam

Described in this document are the Stanford University algorithms for extracting both cases and controls of digital rectal examination (DRE) from electronic health records (EHR) of prostate cancer patients. DRE is a clinical procedure, part of a set of quality metrics used to determine quality care for these patients. In this regard, DRE is defined as quality care when it is performed within a time period of up to six months before first treatment for prostate cancer. For the purposes of this algorithm a case is defined as DRE documented, whereas a control is DRE not documented.
