Description:
CVD-COVID-UK/COVID-IMPACT, co-ordinated by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Data Science Centre (https://bhfdatasciencecentre.org/), is one of the NIHR-BHF Cardiovascular Partnership’s National Flagship Projects.
CVD-COVID-UK aims to understand the relationship between COVID-19 and cardiovascular diseases through analyses of de-identified, pseudonymised, linked, nationally collated health datasets across the four nations of the UK. COVID-IMPACT is an expansion of this approach in England to address research questions looking at the impact of COVID-19 on other health conditions and their related risk factors. The consortium has over 400 members across more than 50 institutions including data custodians, data scientists and clinicians, all of whom have signed up to an agreed set of principles with an inclusive, open and transparent ethos.
Approved researchers access data within secure Trusted Research Environments or Secure Data Environments (TREs/SDEs) provided by NHS England (England), the National Safe Haven (Scotland), the SAIL Databank (Wales) and the Honest Broker Service (Northern Ireland). A dashboard of datasets available in each nation’s TRE/SDE can be found here: https://bhfdatasciencecentre.org/areas/cvd-covid-uk-covid-impact/

Some datasets cover the estimated size of the population, although distinct counts over time may be in excess of this due to population turnover, population movement and in a very small proportion there may be duplication. https://bhfdsc.github.io/documentation/docs/dataset_overview/dataset_summary_table.
