ObjectivesData linkage of cohort-based data and electronic health records (EHRs) has been practised in many countries, but in Hong Kong there is still a lack of such research. To expand the use of multisource data, we aimed to identify a feasible way of linking two cohorts with EHRs in Hong Kong.MethodsParticipants in the ‘Children of 1997’ birth cohort and the Chinese Early Development Instrument (CEDI) cohort were separated into several batches. The Hong Kong Identity Card Numbers (HKIDs) of each batch were then uploaded to the Hong Kong Clinical Data Analysis and Reporting System (CDARS) to retrieve EHRs. Within the same batch, each participant has a unique combination of date of birth and sex which can then be used for exact matching, as no HKID will be returned from CDARS. Raw data collected for the two cohorts were checked for the mismatched cases. After the matching, we conducted a simple descriptive analysis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) information collected in the CEDI cohort via the Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behaviour Scale (SWAN) and EHRs.ResultsIn total, 3473 and 910 HKIDs in the birth cohort and CEDI cohort were separated into 44 and 5 batches, respectively, and then submitted to the CDARS, with 100% and 97% being valid HKIDs respectively. The match rates were confirmed to be 100% and 99.75% after checking the cohort data. From our illustration using the ADHD information in the CEDI cohort, 36 (4.47%) individuals had ADHD–Combined score over the clinical cut-off in the SWAN survey, and 68 (8.31%) individuals had ADHD records in EHRs.ConclusionsUsing date of birth and sex as identifiable variables, we were able to link the cohort data and EHRs with high match rates. This method will assist in the generation of databases for future multidisciplinary research using both cohort data and EHRs.

UNSTRUCTURED Background: Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) and acute respiratory infections (ARI) cause significant pediatric morbidity and mortality. Developing childhood vaccines for norovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and optimizing current vaccines for rotavirus and influenza should be guided by birth cohort data that defines the natural history of infection and acquired immune response. Since the U.S. currently lacks contemporary birth cohort data needed for such recommendations, the PREVAIL Cohort study was initiated in Cincinnati, Ohio for this purpose. Methods: Mothers were enrolled in their third trimester of pregnancy, with intensive child follow-up to 2 years. Blood samples were obtained from children at six time points: Birth (cord), 6 weeks, and 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Whole stool specimens and mid-turbinate nasal swabs were collected weekly and tested by multi-pathogen molecular assays. Saliva, meconium, maternal blood and milk samples were also collected. AGE (>3 loose or watery stools or >1 vomiting episode within 24 hours) and ARI (cough or fever) cases were documented by weekly cell phone surveys to mothers via automated text messaging and review of medical records. Immunization records were obtained from registries and providers. Infection for a pathogen was defined by a PCR-positive stool or nasal swab or rise in serum antibody. Enrollment of 245 mother-child pairs was completed in 2018. Follow-up of study children ends in August 2020. Results: Study participants were 52% white, 43% black, 56% publicly insured. Breastfeeding initiation was 86%. As of March 2020, study children were all >18 months of age and contributed 398 child-years of follow-up. Among the 193 (79%) children remaining under follow-up, median compliance was 95% for weekly text surveys; 74% for weekly samples; and 92% for post-natal blood sample collections. Blood collection was 100% for mothers and 83% for umbilical cord. By maternal report, there were 1.5 AGE and 4.3 ARI cases/child-year. Conclusions: This interim report demonstrates that the PREVAIL Cohort provides intensive mother-child follow-up to document the natural history of enteric and respiratory infections and immunity in children 0-2 years of age in the United States, and will contribute unique data to guide vaccine recommendations. Pathogen testing is ongoing.
