Resource Profile: ExposureGroup

Profile of Group for Evidence Based Medicine IG. The ExposureGroup Profile is used to represent a group (enumerated) used in a ComparativeEvidence.

Usages:

• Refer to this Profile: ComparativeEvidence, ComparatorOnlyEvidence, InterventionOnlyEvidence and NonComparativeEvidence
• Examples for this Profile: ExposureGroup_JAMA_2018_Norwegian_cohort_study_Surgery_cohort, Group/236535, Group/236949, Group/297487... Show 2 more, Group/306659 and Group/375175
