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 COVID-19 antibody test serology results at baseline 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 Baseline - Serology Results Harmonization Protocol includes variables collected by the six CanPath population-based cohorts. The current dataset is the first release and includes information on more than 75,500 antibody test results (serology) for COVID-19. The harmonized dataset covers information on: * Sample type that was analyzed for serology * Date on which the ELISA assay was run. * Type of SARS-CoV-2 antigen tested for antibodies (anti-spike IgG, anti-receptor binding domain of spike (RBD) IgG, and anti-nucleocapsid (N) IgG)) * Serology results for each SARS-CoV-2 antigen

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
