Summary
Patient-level data for adults and children with CKD or adults with an AKI on dialysis who are under the care of NHS hospital renal centres in England, Northern Ireland and Wales and who have a positive laboratory test for SARS-CoV-2.
Documentation
The dataset contains patient-level data for adults and children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or adults with an acute kidney injury (AKI) on dialysis who are under the care of NHS hospital renal centres in England, Northern Ireland and Wales and who have a positive laboratory test for SARS-CoV-2. The data were collected weekly, but this is now moving to monthly, and include patient identifiable information and limited socio-demographic and clinical data. Public Health Scotland submits aggregate data to the UKRR on a monthly basis. Data collection commenced in March 2020 and coverage of renal centres is very good (see COVID-19 surveillance reports here: https://renal.org/audit-research/publications-presentations/report/covid-19-surveillance-reports).

Access request cost
Charges may apply for new aggregate data and extracts of pseudonymous patient level data. The charges are to recover the costs of managing the application process and preparing extracts of data. The costs depend on the level of service required from the UKRR and whether this is limited to a simple extract of data, or requires additional input such as methodological or statistical support. The UKRR can advise on costs once the expression of interest is received and applicants may also be requested to complete a costing form.

Access service description
Data are released to researchers who have successfully gone through the UKRR's data application process. Prior to any data sharing with successful applicants, a fixed term data sharing agreement (DSA) is drawn up between the Renal Association and the recipient. This specifies the scope of the analyses permitted, the data items to be shared, the frequency of the data sharing, the names of the researchers and the time limit beyond which data must be destroyed.
