Summary
Patient-level data for adults and children who trigger an electronic alert for an acute kidney injury (AKI) in primary or secondary care in England.
Documentation
The dataset contains patient-level data for adults and children who trigger a laboratory e-alert for an acute kidney injury (AKI) in primary or secondary care in England. The data are collected monthly and include patient identifiable information, and limited socio-demographic and clinical data. Data collection began in 2015 and in 2018, 87% of the 189 laboratories in England submitted data that could be used in the UKRR’s inaugural AKI report that was published in July 2020 (AKI in England – a report on the nationwide collection of AKI warning test scores from 2018). In 2019, 96% of laboratories submitted data. Each year the UKRR collects data on about 500,000 people with a suspected AKI in England - this includes more than 1.5 million AKI e-alerts. This data collection is mandated by NHS England and alerts are generated by an algorithm embedded in the laboratory information management systems.

Patient pathway description
Patients may only experience an acute kidney injury (AKI) once in their life, or they may have multiple episodes. The AKI lab dataset captures AKI e-alerts for all children and adults who trigger an AKI alert in both primary and secondary care in England. Data collection is mandated by NHS England and in 2019 96% of laboratories submitted data.

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.
