Toward Real-World Reproducibility: Verifying Value Sets for Clinical Research

Abstract

Standardized operational definitions are an important tool to improve reproducibility of research using secondary real-world healthcare data. This approach was leveraged for studies evaluating the effectiveness of AZD7442 as COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis across multiple healthcare systems. Value sets were defined, grouped, and mapped. Results of this exercise were reviewed and recorded. Value sets were updated to reflect findings.
