Summary
Documentation
Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a leading cause of hospital admission, and in older adults has high rates of mortality and complications. CAP is associated with increased long-term mortality and loss of independence for older adults. CAP typically affects older adults with co-morbidities- a group who have largely shielded throughout the winter period. This seems to have reduced rates of transmissible disease in vulnerable people. Complications such as sepsis, and empyema (infected fluid around the lung) prolong hospital admission, result in additional interventions in hospital and have higher mortality than CAP alone. The causative agents for CAP are often poorly identified in real world clinical practice. These data allow the investigation of the different ways in which COVID-19 has impacted on existing health conditions, how often causative agents were identified in real-world practice and the sensitivities of the bacteria, which antibiotics were used and patient outcomes.
PIONEER geography The West Midlands (WM) has a population of 5.9 million & includes a diverse ethnic & socio-economic mix (42% non-white within Birmingham).
EHR. UHB is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England, providing direct acute services & specialist care across four hospital sites, with 2.2 million patient episodes per year, 2750 beds & an expanded 250 ITU bed capacity during COVID. UHB runs a fully electronic healthcare record (EHR) (PICS; Birmingham Systems), a shared primary & secondary care record (Your Care Connected) & a patient portal “My Health”.
Scope: All hospitalised patients admitted to UHB before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, curated to focus on Community Acquired Pneumonia. Longitudinal & individually linked, so that the preceding & subsequent health journey can be mapped & healthcare utilisation prior to & after admission understood. The dataset includes highly granular patient demographics & co-morbidities taken from ICD-10 & SNOMED-CT codes. Serial, structured data pertaining to process of care (timings, admissions, readmissions and discharge outcomes, physiology readings (heart rate, blood pressure, NEWS2 score, SEWS score, AVPU score), blood results and flags for microbiology and surgical data. Comparing the burden of hospitalised community acquired pneumonia (CAP) before and during COVID-19 pandemic.

Access service description
Trusted Research Environments (TRE) are built using Microsoft Azure services and hosted in the UK to provide research teams a safe, secure and agile environment which allows users to quickly analyse, interpret and form an enriched view of primary care information through a range of integrated datasets.
Health data collated from multiple sources is ingested into a secure data lake which will then allow subsets of data to be made available to research teams on approval of a data request. Once approved a customer specific TRE is made available with a standard set of leading analytical tools from Microsoft including Azure Databricks, Azure Machine Learning, Azure SQL and Azure Synapse (for large-scale data warehouses). Specific tools can be provided at an additional cost over the standard platform data access charge and the PIONEER team will work with you to determine your exact needs.
Access to the TRE is managed using the latest virtual desktop technology to provide a safe and secure end-user experience. By utilising leading edge design PIONEER are able to create TREs rapidly to enable us to service any customer requirement.
