We saw the 20 year lookback criteria also impacted our numbers.

I wonder if this accounts for the record discrepancies that Phillip was 
reporting?  Frankly, I looked at our own stats and didn't much worry about 
numbers of validated records from Duke

Hi James,



I apologize for following up w/ this after the approval of Nebraska’s data 
curation submission – but we noticed something in the code that was changed 
between last cycle and this cycle that is affecting the death table (and a few 
other tables) records/patients. Since a date is not required in the death table 
a “lookback date” of 20 years was applied this time to restrict the amount of 
work the query has to do searching. Unfortunately, this is causing records w/ 
no death date and also records with a death date greater than 20 years ago to 
be dropped by the time is gets to the DEATH_L3_N query. This will be remedied 
for the next package release, but at this point, you technically do have more 
than a 5% decrease in records and patients in the death table between last 
refresh and this refresh. So, I’m asking if you please document that in the ETL 
ADD on the data persistence page for the question that asks if any tables lost 
more than 5% of records and/or patients. Your explanation can be that the 
lookback period introduced in this query caused a number of patients fall out.



Please let me know if you have any questions.



Thanks,

Alli
