You can navigate visually the concept space [here](https://finngen.github.io/kanta_lab_harmonisation_public) along with a summary of how many combos of tests/units are mapped * We changed/injected unit for \~100 new tests, allowing us now to harmonize 99% of the data with source values * \`OUTCOME\_POS\_EXTRACTED\` now contains also info from free text strings with the \`+\` symbol in them. For these cases the text is also kept in the \`TEST\_OUTCOME\_TEXT\_EXTRACTED\` column to allow to see the level of abnormality (e.g. \`+\` vs \`3+\`) * QC has been included in the data in the columns \`QC\_PASS\` and \`QC\_NOTES\` For more info about the changes in the pipeline in general see in the [github release page](https://github.com/FINNGEN/kanta_lab_preprocessing/releases/tag/v3). \ The [handbook entry](https://docs.finngen.fi/finngen-data-specifics/red-library-data-individual-level-data/what-phenotype-files-are-available-in-sandbox-1/kanta-lab-values) will soon be updated to V3 but the information present is still relevant in the meantime.

Detailed description of the endpoint and endpoint longitudinal data in Handbook is here: Detailed description of the detailed longitudinal data in Handbook is here: Data is available in red library: * /finngen/library-red/finngen\_R14/phenotype\_2.0/ **March 6th** Dear all, We have released FinnGen R14 visual impairment register data to Sandbox. The data and its documentation are available in red library: gs\://finngen-production-library-red/finngen\_R14/visual\_impairment\_register\_1.0/ **March 5th** Dear all, We have released the Kidney disease Task Force data to the Sandbox. The released files include data on defined eGFR decline slopes. Decline has been calculated from Kanta creatinine lab measurements and decline has been defined as 25% and 40% decline from baseline. The data is further described in the README files provided in the Sandbox. The data is available in red library: /finngen/library-red/task\_force\_data/Kidney/Refined\_phenotypes/ **March 5th** Dear all, Biologic medications used in Task Force diseases have been harmonized from all FinnGen register sources and released to Sandbox. The file contains 36 unique drugs and 16370 unique FGIDs.The dataset combines biologic medications used for Task Force–specific diseases into a single file. Data sources include hospital records; medication purchase data from Kela and Kanta; the Finnish Quality Registry for Rheumatic Diseases; Kanta laboratory measurements (including measured drug concentrations and autoantibodies); and NOMESCO procedure codes related to hospital infusion administrations.The data are structured in longitudinal format, with one row per event per individual. Exact duplicate records have been removed. However, partial or apparent duplicates may still remain because the data originate from multiple sources and lack unique identifiers linking related events across systems. For example, a prescription recorded in hospital data may later appear as a purchase in Kanta purchase data and as a drug concentration measurement in Kanta lab measurement data.For this reason, we do not recommend using the dataset to calculate the exact number of individual treatment events. Instead, it is better suited for analyses such as estimating drug exposure or treatment periods.We have identified certain NOMESCO procedure codes that likely correspond to specific ATC drug codes in order to account for hospital-administered infusion medications. However, this linkage has not been formally validated. Users are therefore advised to assess the suitability and validity of these data for their specific research purposes. The data is further described in the README files provided in the Sandbox.\ The data is available in red library:/finngen/library-red/task\_force\_data/harmonized\_biologics/ **March 3rd** Dear all,\ The smoking data harmonized from all FinnGen register sources with smoking information has been released to Sandbox by the Pulmonary Task Force.\ The data contains smoking measurements from FinnGen registers in longitudinal format, with one row per measurement event per person.
