Join the NC TraCS Comparative Effectiveness Research team for a discussion on the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C). This discussion will be led by Richard Moffitt, PhD, of Stony Brook University. The majority of U.S. reports of COVID-19 clinical characteristics, disease course, and treatments are from single health systems or focused on one domain. Here we report the creation of the National COVID Cohort Collaborative, a centralized, harmonized, high-granularity electronic health record repository that is the largest, most representative U.S. cohort of COVID-19 cases and controls to date. This multi-center dataset supports robust evidence-based development of predictive and diagnostic tools and informs critical care and policy.
