Summary

Derived demographic and geographic indicators for patients linked in the CUREd+ dataset. Covers age, sex, ethnicity, deprivation, and rural-urban classification for individuals who received care from a hospital in England during the period.

Documentation

This dataset contains basic patient-level demographic information, including sex, ethnicity, and age. Age is derived internally from month and year of birth, which are not included in research extracts. It is based on data supplied by NHS England alongside linked HES datasets and used to support the construction of the CUREd+ cohort.

Personally identifiable fields were removed prior to transfer, with only non-identifying attributes retained for analysis and linkage.
