    Background:
    The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) has enabled the distribution of previously unshared data. A critical component to maximize the utility of these data is to have longitudinal clinical data, such as treatment data. Manual abstraction has typically been used to capture treatment data, but this process is time consuming and subject to human error. This study aimed to use automated extraction and processing of electronic health record (EHR) data using the ExtractEHR+ Toolkit to describe chemotherapy exposures for children enrolled in the Children’s Brain Tumor Network (CBTN) who have contributed data to the CCDI.

    Methods:
    Patients enrolled in CBTN at two hospitals were included. ExtractEHR extracted all medication orders and administrations, including outpatient prescriptions, heights, and weights. Medication order and administration data were merged and MedCleanEHR centrally cleaned these data to identify unique chemotherapy exposures and dose amounts. Height and weight data were used to calculate body surface area and merged with medication data. For prescriptions where a discrete dose field was not included, regular expressions were used to identify doses in free text fields. MedCleanEHR calculated cumulative chemotherapy doses each patient received. 

    Results:
    The cohort included 1628 patients. ExtractEHR successfully pulled 3,849,099 medication administrations and 839,736 medication orders. Once cleaned, there were 98,877 unique chemotherapy administrations and 8,781 chemotherapy prescriptions.

    Conclusions:
    The ExtractEHR+ Toolkit can efficiently ascertains chemotherapy exposures and dosing for patients in the CBTN cohort. These data will be transferred to the CCDI to enhance clinical data in the CCDI ecosystem.
