About the ExportXLS Web Client Plugin

Introduction

This plugin provides the following functions:

  1. Tabulates any selected Concepts (Ontology terms) relevant (observed on) to a set of selected Patients.
  2. Optionally displays relevant unidentified Patient data.
  3. Exports aforementioned tabulated data into an Excel spreadsheet file conveniently.

 Instructions

  1. Navigate to the "Specify Data" tab. Then, drag and drop a Patient Set and one or more Concepts (Ontology Term) onto the input boxes.
  2. Check or uncheck the Include Patient Data box if you want to include the relevant non-identifying information for each patient.
  3. Finally, click the "View Results" tab to view the table of the observations.

 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 diseasearterial vascular disease, etc.) that happen to be also observed in a particular patient.

Note that including all possible observations corresponding to a selected concept for a patient may result in rather complicated and confusing data, and may not be too useful.

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 diseaseIschemic heart disease, and arterial vascular disease, etc. would result in more meaningful results than simply specifying a single concept of Circulatory system.
