Abstract Synopsis

  • Phecodes are a tool that helps researchers simplify and categorize complex data from electronic health records (EHRs) to identify diseases and conditions quickly, originally designed for genetic studies.
  • They are based on ICD codes and facilitate high-throughput methods like phenome-wide association studies and phenotype risk scores, making large-scale analysis more manageable.
  • The review discusses how phecodes were developed, validated, and used in various research areas, and explores potential future developments in high-throughput phenotyping.]
