Abstract Objectives To define pregnancy episodes and estimate gestational age within electronic health record (EHR) data from the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C). Materials Methods We developed a comprehensive approach, named Hierarchy rule-based episode Inference integrated with Pregnancy Progression Signatures (HIPPS), applied it to EHR in N3C (January 1, 2018–April 7, 2022). HIPPS combines: (1) an extension of previously published algorithm, (2) novel algorithm detect...
