A Prospective Universal Observational Database for COVID-19

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The Hackensack Meridian Health Universal Observational COVID-19, a descriptive observational database, is a multi-center initiative collecting data throughout the Hackensack Meridian Health Network (HMH). HMH utilizes the EPIC system at most of the facilities, which will serve as the primary data source. The database will be designed within the REDCap system. A de-identified dataset will be sent to COTA for primary statistical analysis as requested by the research teams.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The principle objective of this observational database is to build research-grade real world data that will serve as platform to advance the scientific understanding and clinical care of patients with COVID-19. 1. Demographic, diagnostic, treatment and outcome data from centers throughout the Hackensack Meridian Health Network will be abstracted from the electronic health records of patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. This will be purely observational and no direction as to the care of the patient will be performed as part of this effort. 1a. Data points to be collected will include, but are not limited to: age, gender, zip code, prior evaluation for COVID-19, tobacco history, race, site of care, healthcare worker, nursing home care, visits to ER, presenting features of fever/ cough/ dyspnea/ gastrointestinal/ mental status changes, days of symptoms, comorbidities, uses of antihypertensives, duration of hospitalization/ icu care, presenting laboratory functions, presenting vital signs, need for oxygen support, dialysis/ ecmo use, treatment with hydroxychloroquine/ azithromycin/ remdesevir/ tociluzimab/ anti-inflammatory agents, arrhythmias/ QTc prolongation, enrollment on clinical trial, positive cultures, survival and cause of death. Additional data points will be added as needed. 2. The data will be entered into a central Universal database hosted within the REDCap system (HIPAA compliant, secure, access only per HMH research approval) 3. A de-identified dataset will be sent to COTA for primary statistical analysis as requested by the research teams. COTA will also make available a data/analytic visualization tool (hosted on Tableau) for analysis by primary investigators. 4. Additional data points and analysis may be added to the Universal database as requested by HMH investigators with IRB approval. De-identified data may also be sent directly to HMH investigators for their own analysis with IRB approval of their projects 5. Data will be made available to governmental agencies as requested.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Need for hospitalization | Rate of Hospitalization | 1 Year | 
| Duration of hospitalization | The duration of hospitalization is defined as the time in days from the first day of hospitalized to the date of discharge or death. Patients who are not discharged, are alive and still in the hospital on the date of closing follow-up, or lost follow-up on the date of closing follow-up will be considered censored on that date. | 1 Year | 
| Need for ICU/Ventilator Support | Rate of ICU/Ventilator Support | 1 Year | 
| Duration of ICU/Ventilator Support | The duration of ICU/Ventilator Support is defined as the time in days from the first day of using mechanical ventilation/ICU admission to the last day of using mechanical ventilation/ICU discharge. All evaluable patients will be included and no censoring for this analysis. | 1 Year | 
| Overall Survival | Overall survival will be defined as the time in days from study entry to death. Patients who are alive on the date of closing follow-up will be censored on that date. | 1 Year |
