Description
The UK Biobank, a significant resource for both clinical and genetic data, displays information about medications that participants were taking at the time of enrollment (field 20003). This list is not currently mapped to a standard, so contains entries that may be analyzed as individual traits. We used a set of reference terminologies to map medication entries to RXNorm CUIs. Of 6750 unique entries, we were able to map 91% using automated methods.
Learning Objective: Understand the challenges of mapping self-reported medication data to a standard
