 Usage Case Suggestion

Currently the resulting table will only include the first observation from the selected concept (among the many possible if a selected concept is very broad) associated with each patient. In other words, if a selected concept contains multiple subconcepts (e.g. Circulatory system), the resulting row, for a patient, will contain only the first observation (e.g. Hypertensive disease), and ignore other observations (e.g. Ischemic heart disease, arterial vascular disease, etc.) that happen to be also observed in a particular patient.

...

It's therefore important to exercise prudence, and select finer-grained concepts that may not be related to multiple non-exclusive observations in patients. For example, while a patient set may be for Circulatory system, selecting several concepts like Hypertensive disease, Ischemic heart disease, and arterial vascular disease, etc. would result in more meaningful results than simply specifying a single concept of Circulatory system.
