Jul 07, 2024

Professor Choi Se-young of the Department of Urology at Chung-Ang University Hospital won the grand prize at the '2024 CDM (Baseline DB) Competition' held at Catholic University Maria Hall on the 3rd.

The competition, which was held from April 29 to June 24 as part of the "2024 Medical Data-Centered Hospital Support Project", invited ideas from researchers and research teams from companies (pharmaceuticals, IT, AI, medical services, etc.) interested in joint research using the consortium's Common Data Model.

At this competition, the urological multidisciplinary CDM research team (Choi Se-young, Choi Soo-jung, Kim Sun-min, Choi Yoon-won, Kim Han-bit, Ha Yoo-shin, Lim Bum-jin, Song Ki-hyun, Kim A-ram, and Kim Ga-young) including Professor Choi Se-young of the Department of Urology at Chung-Ang University Hospital were honored with the grand prize for the presentation of the theme 'Study Using Sodium?Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors and CDM on the risk of urinary epithelial cancer (cystic cancer) in patients with type 2 diabetes'.



Professor Choi Se-young's research team wanted to use CDM (Baseline DB) to see if the use of SGLT2 inhibitors increases the risk of urinary epithelial cancer (campaign cancer) compared to other diabetes drugs, and won the grand prize by receiving the best score in the evaluation of subject suitability, follow-up research capabilities, specificity, originality, and ripple effects.

As a result, Professor Choi Se-young's research team will continue its follow-up research with researchers belonging to the consortium in the future and receive support for researcher matching, joint deliberation, and joint infrastructure procedures.



Professor Choi Se-young said, "In the case of medical data, each hospital is stored in a different way, and the system made by a specific institution has a structural problem that is difficult to utilize in other institutions.""The Joint Data Model (CDM) is becoming a standard model with the same structure and meaning worldwide, which has the advantage of strengthening clinical evidence through the exchange of data between hospitals and protecting personal information while increasing the availability of non-hospital institutions.'

Professor Choi then said, "Our topic seems to have been well received for showing an example that anyone can do CDM research while setting concise and clear standards and results"It is an honor to be awarded the grand prize at the first CDM competition, and Korea is a cohort with ideal medical data with more than 95% of all citizens insured in health insurance, so I want to continue to pay attention to the use of valuable medical data and produce good research results."," he said.
