A user requested support with integrating COVID-19 case counts and hospitalization data into the larger wastewater/environmental surveillance database that is in ODM format. They were wanting to integrate the data in a wide format.
As a reminder, the wide names for measures follow the structure: compartment_specimen_fraction_measure_unit_aggregation_index_attribute
So the pieces for this clinical data would be:
- Compartment = hum (for human)
- Specimen = po (for population)
- Fraction = NA (not relevant for clinical data)
- Measure = cov (for covid-19 infection)
- Unit = confEp (if we’re talking about confirmed cases by episode date) OR
- Unit = confRep (if we’re talking about confirmed cases by report date) OR
- Unit = acti (if we’re talking about active cases) OR
- Unit = hosa (if we’re talking about Hospital admissions) OR
- Unit = vax1plus, vax2plus, vax3plus, vax4plus, or vax1, vax2, vax3, vax4 (if we’re talking about vaccination levels, depending on how many doses and one weather you want “at least x doses” or “exactly x doses”)
- Aggregation = 7dma (if we’re talking about a 7-day moving average) OR
- Aggregation = sum14 (if we’re talking about a rolling sum of previous 14 days -? I’d also recommend checking out the parts for daily count (daiCo) and cumulative count (cuCo)) OR
- Aggregation = total (if it’s just a count).
- index = NA (not relevant)
- Attribute = value (given that we are reporting/integrating the counts/numbers).
So:
- COVID-19 confirmed cases by episode date by sewershed → hum_po_NA_cov_confEp_total_NA_value
- 7-day moving average of sewershed’s COVID-19 confirmed cases by episode date → hum_po_NA_cov_confEp_7dma_NA_value
- COVID-19 active cases by episode date (rolling sum of previous 14 days) by sewershed → hum_po_NA_cov_acti_sum14_NA_value
- COVID-19 cases by reported date (date case was reported to public health) by sewershed → hum_po_NA_cov_confRep_total_NA_value
- 7-day moving average of sewershed’s COVID-19 cases by reported date → hum_po_NA_cov_confRep_7dma_NA_value
- COVID-19 hospital admissions by sewershed → hum_po_NA_cov_hosa_total_NA_value
- 7-day moving average of sewershed’s COVID-19 hospital admissions → hum_po_NA_cov_hosa_7dma_NA_value
- COVID-19 vaccine coverage by sewershed - All ages with at least two doses → hum_po_NA_cov_ vax2plus_total_NA_value
- COVID-19 vaccine coverage by sewershed - All ages with at least three doses → hum_po_NA_cov_ vax3plus_total_NA_value
- COVID-19 vaccine coverage by sewershed - All ages with at least four doses → hum_po_NA_cov_ vax4plus_total_NA_value
