Variables
-
The objective of the COVID-19 Antibody Test Follow-up 2 - Collection and Processing Harmonization Protocol was to generate harmonized datasets across the population-based cohorts to address the research objective of the CanPath Harmonization Initiative.
- Version
- 1.0
- Number of Participants
- 9,110
- Approach
- Prospective
- Type
- Quantitative
- Procedures
- Harmonized data is generated by a central harmonization team (with the collaboration of studies).
- Participant Inclusion
- All CanPath participants from cohorts collecting data on the collection and processing of COVID-19 antibody tests at follow-up 2 are eligible.
- Infrastructure
- Harmonized data can be transferred to external servers, and pooled data analysis can be achieved.
Information Content
The COVID-19 Antibody Test Follow-up 2 - Collection and Processing Harmonization Protocol includes administrative information on biosamples collected by the six CanPath population-based cohorts. The current dataset is the first release and includes information on 9,120 biological samples donated by CanPath participants.
The harmonized dataset covers information on:
* Date of the biological sample collection
* Biological sample type that was analyzed for COVID-19 serology
* Biological sample collection container
* Biological sample arrival date at processing lab
* Short-term storage temperature
Harmonization
- Complete - study-specific variable is the same as DataSchema variable (status detail = identical) or needs transformation to generate DataSchema variable (status detail = compatible)
- Partial - categorical study-specific variable (status detail = proximate) or other types (status detail = tentative) could generate DataSchema variable but with loss of information
- Impossible - study does not collect DataSchema variable (status detail = unavailable) or cannot be used to generate DataSchema variable (status detail = incompatible)
- Undetermined - harmonization status not determined
- Not Applicable - harmonization status is not relevant
