Insights Filters

At a broad level, the insights query box works as a SQL-like WHERE clause. In this brief documentation, we will first demonstrate some generic examples, then provide a list of resources that can be used in the query. For a simple example, we can start with the following query which retrieves patients who are older than the age of 50:

patient.demographics.age > 50

If you wanted to supply a simple AND predicate, you can do the following:

patient.demographics.gender = 'male' AND
    patient.conditions.code = 'ab123' AND
    patient.conditions.system = 'system_here'

We currently support AND, OR, and XOR. Note that joins are all handled by the DSL-engine and do not need to be explicitly stated in the request. For an example of a more complex query, we can do the following:

patient.demographics.age > 40 AND patient.demographics.ethnicity = 'white' AND
    (variant.gnosis.clinical_significance = 'Pathogenic' OR
        variant.gnosis.clinvar_allele_id = 'abc' OR
        (patient.demographics.is_deceased = false AND
            patient.demographics.gender = 'female')
        )

In order to use a RANGE operator, you can do the following:

variant.gnosis.gene = 'TTN' AND
    variant.gnosis.population_allelic_frequency BETWEEN 0, 50

For a common XOR example, we can do the following to find individuals who have never had a condition:

(patient.conditions.code = '1671000' AND
    patient.conditions.system = 'http://snomed.info/sct')
XOR patient.all = true

Note, that patient.all = true returns all patient values, which allows this query to find the difference.

In the last example, we can find all patients that died after April 14th 2000:

patient.demographics.deceased > '2000/04/14'

Finally, we can see all of the current items that are supported by the analytics DSL engine below.
