Phenotype Data Reference for Indiana Biobank

This page summarizes the phenotype data domains currently available in the Indiana Biobank portal.

For vocabulary reference:

• Labs are LOINC-based
• Diagnoses use ICD-based vocabulary mapping

At a Glance

The platform currently supports these phenotype domains:

• Demographics and biometrics
• Laboratory results
• Diagnoses
• Medications
• Hospitalizations
• COVID-19 tests
• COVID-19 vaccinations
• Drug screenings
• Non-COVID vaccinations

Phenotype Domains and Fields

Demographics and Biometrics

Core participant attributes and enrollment-linked measurements.

Researcher-facing fields

• Gender
• Age (current)
• Age at enrollment
• Race
• Ethnicity
• Max encounter date
• Enrollment date
• BMI (latest measurement)
• Weight (latest measurement)
• Height (latest measurement)

Notes

• Current age and age at enrollment are derived values.
• Weight, height, and BMI are exposed through the demographic_extended view rather than as standalone cohort categories.
• BMI is calculated from the latest usable height and weight values.

Laboratory Results

Laboratory tests indexed by LOINC and stored with both numeric and coded result forms.

Researcher-facing fields

• Lab lookup filter by test name or LOINC code

Stored data elements

• LOINC code
• LOINC name
• Lab name
• Lab date
• Result type
• Numeric result
• Coded result
• Unit

Notes

• Lab extraction and lab search are built around LOINC codes.
• The cohort builder uses a lab-specific query flow rather than a long flat field list.
• This is the phenotype domain most tightly integrated with term search and summary visualizations.

Diagnoses

Encounter-linked diagnoses coded across multiple vocabularies.

Researcher-facing fields

• Name / code
• Date

Stored data elements

• Diagnosis name
• Diagnosis code
• Code system
• Diagnosis date

Notes

• The current configuration uses ICD-based diagnosis vocabulary mapping.
• Diagnosis codes can come from ICD-9, ICD-10, and SNOMED-linked terminology in the portal.

Medications

Medication exposure and prescription detail fields.

Researcher-facing fields

• Name
• Category
• Start date
• Dispense quantity
• Dispense quantity unit
• Number of refills
• Strength dose
• Strength dose unit

Stored data elements

• Drug name
• Drug category
• Prescription start date
• Dispense quantity
