Description
When using the FeatureExtraction package to prepare drug use tables I use a set of all ATC4 codes.
Due to the vocabulary having identical entry names for different codes (e.g. Ophthalmological and gynaecological antibiotics- S01AA and G01AArespectively - and are both called Antibiotics).
This makes them indistinguishable in the final table1, since it is uses concept_name as identifier.
This could be solved by optionally including concept_id as a unique identifier in table1.

Research direction
The issue concerns table1 generation in the FeatureExtraction R package, but it names no file or test. Start by locating the table1 entry point and checking where concept_name is used as the identifier. Done means concept_id can optionally distinguish entries with identical concept names, with coverage for the affected ATC4 examples.
