Validation of a Derived International Patient Severity Algorithm to Support COVID-19 Analytics from Electronic Health Record Data

Abstract: Introduction. The Consortium for Clinical Characterization of COVID-19 by EHR (4CE) includes hundreds of hospitals internationally using a federated computational approach to COVID-19 research using the EHR. Objective. We sought to develop and validate a standard definition of COVID-19 severity from readily accessible EHR data across the Consortium. Methods. We developed an EHR-based severity algorithm and validated it on patient hospitalization data from 12 4CE clinical sites against the outcomes of ICU ad… Show more

“…Table 1 lists the emerging codes that are included in the ontology. 2) We created computable phenotypes to characterize the course of illness and outcomes in COVID-19 that included illness severity [12], respiratory therapy management, and level of care. We developed computable phenotypes for three levels of illness severity – moderate, severe, and death – and for four levels of respiratory therapy management – supplemental oxygen, intubation, mechanical ventilation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) – and for each of these phenotypes we collected a set of relevant codes from ICD-10, CPT-4, and DRG.…”

“…Though we primarily developed the COVID-19 ontology for the ACT network, the ontology is has been leveraged by other COVID-19 research groups. In particular, the computable phenotypes that characterize the severity COVID-19 and disease outcomes have be beneficial in standardizing these computable phenotype definitions beyond the ACT network [12]. Since the publication of the ontology, the 4CE, the N3C, and the PCORnet consortia have adapted the ontology for their own use.…”

“…1 ) as well as COVID-19 severity, defined according to the 4CE definition. 24 Of the 45 contributing sites, five sites (all from Italy) provided only ICD-9 codes while the remaining 40 sites provided predominantly ICD-10 codes. As such, we used ICD-10 data for the main analyses and ICD-9 data for supplementary analyses.…”

“…It could take a few days from SARS-CoV-2 infection to symptom onset and additional days before a positive PCR test and/or hospital admission. Similarly, we analyzed ICD codes before and after the admission date according to whether patients ever met the 4CE criteria for severe COVID-19 24 ( Fig. 1 ).…”
