Abstract
Objective: We aim to demonstrate the versatility of the All of Us database as an important source of rare and undiagnosed disease (RUD) data, because of its large size and range of data types.
Materials and methods: We searched the public data browser, electronic health record (EHR), and several surveys to investigate the prevalence, mental health, healthcare access, and other data of select RUDs.
Results: Several RUDs have participants in All of Us [eg, 75 of 100 rare infectious diseases (RIDs)]. We generated health-related data for undiagnosed, sickle cell disease (SCD), cystic fibrosis (CF), and infectious (2 diseases) and chronic (4 diseases) disease pools.
Conclusion: Our results highlight the potential value of All of Us with both data breadth and depth to help identify possible solutions for shared and disease-specific biomedical and other problems such as healthcare access, thus enhancing diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and support for the RUD community.
目的:我们的目标是展示All of Us数据库作为罕见和未确诊疾病(RUD)数据的重要来源的多功能性,因为它的数据规模大,数据类型范围广。材料和方法:我们检索了公共数据浏览器、电子健康记录(EHR)和几项调查,以调查所选RUDs的患病率、心理健康、医疗保健可及性和其他数据。结果:一些罕见传染病在All of Us中有参与者[例如,100种罕见传染病(rid)中有75种]。我们生成了未确诊的镰状细胞病(SCD)、囊性纤维化(CF)、感染性(2种疾病)和慢性(4种疾病)疾病池的健康相关数据。结论:我们的研究结果突出了All of Us的潜在价值,其数据广度和深度有助于确定共享和特定疾病的生物医学和其他问题(如医疗保健获取)的可能解决方案,从而加强对RUD社区的诊断、治疗、预防和支持。
