N3C COVID

Organization: National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)

Description

The National Clinical Cohort Collaborative (N3C) COVID Enclave developed by National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) systematically and regularly collects data derived from the electronic health records of people who tested positive for COVID-19 or had related symptoms. In addition, data on non-COVID patients, controls, are collected for a case/control ratio of 1/2. The collected data are then harmonized into single OMOP Common Data Model format and made available for comparative studies. The data set includes such information as demographics, symptoms, lab test results, procedures, medications, medical conditions, physical measurements and more. These profiles used data from Release 184 and counts less than 20 were suppressed.
