Clustering analyses in clinical contexts hold promise to improve the understanding of patient phenotype and disease course in chronic and acute clinical medicine. However, work remains to ensure that solutions are rigorous, valid, and reproducible. In this paper, we evaluate best practices for dissimilarity matrix calculation and clustering on mixed-type, clinical data. We simulate clinical data to represent problems in clinical trials, cohort studies, and EHR data, including single-type datasets (binary, continuous, categorical) an
