    Hi Claire, dear all,
    now I see where you are heading.
    From WHO and other institutions within and across countries there are
    many ongoing initiatives to define variable level information to guide
    and harmonize novel studies
    I wonder whether we should:
    a.) Reference those endeavours and make a recommendation as to what to
    use for which purpose. This is a lot given the ambitous time frame.
    b.) Setup our own list at the variable / data element level.
    I am strongly inclined to realize a.
    THanks four your opinion.
    Best
    Carsten

    Hi,
    I would agree would Carsten. I would try to reference existing initiatives,
    e.g. the Covid19 Host Genomics group have already crowdsourced some of the
    attributes and data elements that may be useful at multiple levels here -
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RXrJIzHKkyB8qx5tHLQjcBioiDAOrQ3o...
    The focus for covid19HG is meta-analysis, bust some of the data elements
    could also be used upwards for case reporting aligned with WHO guidelines
    too.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

    Hi Claire,
    I have made a range of additions to the 4th writing sprint document
    above table 1 but am not sure if it comes near what you expect,
    best
    Carsten
