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
