Using Electronic Health Records to Generate Phenotypes for Research
Sarah A. Pendergrass and Dana C. Crawford Electronic health records contain patient-level data collected during and for clinical care. Data within the electronic health record include diagnostic billing codes, procedure codes, vital signs, laboratory test results, clinical imaging, and physician notes. With repeated clinic visits, these data are longitudinal, providing important information on disease development, […]
Local genetic ancestry in CDKN2B-AS1 is associated with primary open-angle glaucoma in an African American cohort extracted from de-identified electronic health records.
Restrepo NA, Laper S, Farber-Eger E, Crawford DC. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in developed countries. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the most prevalent clinical subtype of glaucoma in the United States, affects African Americans at a higher rate compared with European Americans. Risk factors identified for POAG include increased age and family history, […]
Reducing Clinical Noise for Body Mass Index Measures Due to Unit and Transcription Errors in the Electronic Health Record.
Goodloe R, Farber-Eger E, Boston J, Crawford DC, Bush WS,. Body mass index (BMI) is an important outcome and covariate adjustment for many clinical association studies. Accurate assessment of BMI, therefore, is a critical part of many study designs. Electronic health records (EHRs) are a growing source of clinical data for research purposes, and have […]
Fine-mapping of lipid regions in global populations discovers ethnic-specific signals and refines previously identified lipid loci.

Shocked to hear my former post-doc advisor passed away suddenly. As one colleague put it, it's the end of an era. twitter.com/NHGRI_Director…
I'm very sad to hear of the passing of Debbie Nickerson at @uwgenome on Christmas Eve. I've known Debbie since the early days of the Human Genome Project. She was a forceful champion of so many things cherished by NHGRI/NIH, including her attentiveness to training and diversity.

@scottmwilliams9 @hereandnow Many thanks to @scottwilliams9 and @paula_darte @CWRUSOM for talking me through the various interview experiences on the rapidly changing #COVID19 #OmicronVariant situation.
My colleague Dana Crawford speaks on importance of SARS-CV 2 sequencing and prioritization How genomic sequencing makes it possible to track omicron variant spread wbur.fm/3IcnvjD via @hereandnow Retweeted by Dr. Dana Crawford
Completely geeking out over my first @NPR interview with @odowdpeter for @HereandNow about US genomic surveillance for SARS-CoV-2. wbur.org/hereandnow/202…
Agree @razibkhan. @trvrb tweets and YouTube videos of his talks (and nice slides) are making their way into our scientific communication lectures for the graduate students. Great examples. twitter.com/razibkhan/stat…
How many more waves & new variants of concern will we need to understand that as long as there are unvaccinated people anywhere in the world that can get infected, there's a chance for the virus to mutate & acquire new properties to escape immunity. #VaccinateTheWorld🌎 #MaskUp😷 Retweeted by Dr. Dana Crawford
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) capture information on a large number of people, and can be used to conduct health studies. We will discuss examples of how quantitative disciplines have gained insights into diseases with EHR data. #2021NDiSTEM bit.ly/3Ec2oeB Retweeted by Dr. Dana Crawford
