Phenotype 2.2 (deprecated)
Covid-19 Phenotype Documentation, Version 2.2 (Last updated 9/14/2020)
Objective: To identify lab-confirmed, suspected, and possible cases of covid-19.
This phenotype will capture patients in four “tiers”: “lab-confirmed positive,” “lab-confirmed negative,” “suspected positive,” and “possible positive.”
Note: The phenotype is specifically designed to include criteria that would be queryable in most clinical common data models (CDMs), including OMOP, PCORnet, ACT, and TriNetX. This may not enable inclusion of certain criteria that would otherwise be available (e.g., in a local data warehouse), such as temperature, O2 sat measurements, isolation flags, and information gleaned from clinical notes.
#########################################
Changelog (from version 2.1)
- Some LOINC codes removed (see strikethroughs in LOINC table), due to the tests not being specific to SARS-CoV-2.
- One new OMOP-only code added
#########################################
Phenotype Inclusion Criteria:
- No age or demographic restrictions.
- Use 1/1/2020 as the start date.
- Patient must have:
-
ONE or more of the lab tests in the Labs table (below), regardless of result (unless negative and accompanied by a Z11.59; see exclusions)
OR
-
ONE or more of the “Strong Positive” diagnosis codes from the ICD-10 or SNOMED tables (below)
OR
-
TWO or more of the “Weak Positive” diagnosis codes from the ICD-10 or SNOMED tables (below) during the same encounter or on the same date, on or prior to 5/1/2020
-
Phenotype Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient was assigned code Z11.59 (viral screening code; used per CDC guidance to indicate asymptomatic covid screening) on or after 4/1/2020, and does NOT also have a record of a positive covid test or a “strong positive” diagnosis code.
#########################################
Phenotype Categories for Downstream Analytics and Data Quality Checking:
To identify “lab-confirmed positive cases”:
- Patient must have clear positive result from one or more of the labs listed in the Labs table, below.
To identify “lab-confirmed negative cases”:
- Patient must have a clear negative result from one or more of the labs listed in the Labs table, below.
Note: If patient has both a negative and a positive result within the timeframe of a single “run” of the phenotype, consider them a “lab-confirmed positive” case for the purpose of the phenotype, though both results will appear in the data for use in downstream analytics.
To identify “suspected positive” cases:
- Patient must not be in the “lab-confirmed positive” or “lab-confirmed negative” categories and must have one or more of the following:
- One or more of the “strong positive” diagnosis codes from the Diagnosis table below (ICD or SNOMED)
- OR Unclear (null, uncertain, or incomplete) result from one or more of the labs listed in the Labs table, below.
To identify “possible positive” cases:
- Patient must _not _be in the “lab-confirmed positive,” “lab-confirmed negative,” or “suspected positive” category and must have two or more different “weak positive” diagnosis codes from the Diagnosis table below (ICD or SNOMED), in the same encounter OR on the same date.
A patient should only be in one category at any given point in time but may move between categories. (E.g., a patient could be a “suspected positive” on Monday when their test is sent out and move to “lab-confirmed positive” by Friday when their test result comes back.)
