Speaker: John H. Holmes- University of Pennsylvania
 Abstract: In electronic health records, patterns of missing laboratory test results could capture patients’ course of disease as well as reflect clinician’s concerns or worries for possible conditions. These patterns are often understudied and overlooked. This seminar aims at illustrating how to characterize the patterns of missingness among laboratory data thought an application within the 4CE Consortium (Consortium for Clinical Characterization of COVID-19 by EHR), involving data collected across 15 healthcare system sites in three countries for COVID-19 inpatients. This seminar will elucidate how missing data patterns in EHRs can be leveraged to identify quality control issues and relationships between laboratory measurements. Missing data patterns will allow sites to attain better quality data for subsequent analyses and help researchers identify which sites are better poised to study particular questions. The seminar will also provide insight into some of the biological relationships between labs in EHR data for COVID-19 patients.
