dsOMOP: bridging OMOP CDM and DataSHIELD for secure federated analysis of standardized clinical data

Motivation Collaborative clinical research projects face several challenges related to data sharing. The disparity between data standards and strict privacy regulations become more relevant as the number of involved institutions increases. To address these challenges, the scientific community has pr...

spelling dsOMOP: bridging OMOP CDM and DataSHIELD for secure federated analysis of standardized clinical dataSarrat González, DavidEscribà Montagut, XavierHoughtaling, JaredGonzález, Juan R.Motivation Collaborative clinical research projects face several challenges related to data sharing. The disparity between data standards and strict privacy regulations become more relevant as the number of involved institutions increases. To address these challenges, the scientific community has progressively adopted common data models like the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model (OMOP CDM) for multicenter data standardization and implemented federated data analysis platforms like DataSHIELD to perform remote analyses without transferring individual-level data between centers, thus mitigating disclosure risks. However, there is no native implementation that automatically combines both solutions, revealing the need for a tool that enables interoperability between these systems. Results We present dsOMOP, a collection of DataSHIELD packages that facilitates automated extraction and transformation of OMOP CDM data into DataSHIELD-compatible datasets, enabling disclosure-controlled federated analyses of standardized clinical data. dsOMOP allows research institutions to provide access to their data for collaborative projects in a format that is interoperable with the project’s available data, thus facilitating the analysis of large-scale, multicenter clinical data. It incorporates OMOP data directly into the DataSHIELD workflow, where all analyses occur entirely in a federated environment subject to rigorous disclosure controls, ensuring that only aggregated, non-disclosive results are ever returned to analysts.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Innovation and Universities, the National Agency for Research, and the Fund for Regional Development (PID2021-122855OB-I00).
