Understanding data requirements of retrospective studies.
This study seeks to characterize the types and patterns of data usage from EHRs for clinical research. It found that studies used an average of 4.46 (range 1–12) data element types in the selection criteria and 6.44 (range 1–15) in the study variables. The most frequently used items (e.g., procedure, condition, medication) are often available in coded form in EHRs.
