Motivation edit

This property will be useful for clinicians to know which diseases are likely to happen to patients suffering from a particular medical condition. Cooccurrence of two conditions does not mean that one condition is the risk factor of the other condition. Csisc (talk) 13:54, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

  •   Support. Nomen ad hoc (talk) 20:13, 23 October 2019 (UTC).[reply]
  •   Comment Where is the data going to come from? Particularly the literature references to support the statements? I think these are really important for information like this and maybe you can mention the references for the four examples too? I am not a medical scientists, but it occurred to me that the arrow in the example visually imply causation, which is even a step further. From the English description, however, it seems that the goal is more to represent the correlation ("co-occurring"), but should the relation than not be in both directions? Finally, how about the prevalence (is that the correct term here?) of the comorbidity, should that be expected as qualifier? --Egon Willighagen (talk) 05:49, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Egon Willighagen: All the data will be retrieved from https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-018-2468-8. As shown, this database is CC0. Concerning comorbidity, it works in both directions. In fact, if X is a comorbidity of Y, Y is a combidity of X. This is another difference from risk factor property. The prevalence should be a qualifier of comorbidity property. However, it is not evident that we can find a CC0 database where comorbidity prevalence are available. --Csisc (talk) 07:27, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
