Urinary tract infections acute presentations: microbiology, treatment, outcome

Dataset

Documentation

Description:
Background: A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection that affects the bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis) or kidneys (pyelonephritis). They are more prevalent in women, and the incidence in women over 65 years old is double the rate compared with the overall female population. Catheterisation is known to affect the likelihood of infection. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence suggests that UTIs in the elderly are often over-diagnosed and over-treated. This has led to NHS England requiring a reduction in the number of Trimethoprim prescriptions prescribed to patients over 70 years old. PIONEER geography: The West Midlands (WM) has a population of 5.9 million and includes a diverse ethnic and socio-economic mix. EHR: UHB is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England, providing direct acute services and specialist care across four hospital sites, with 2.2 million patient episodes per year, 2750 beds and an expanded 250 ITU bed capacity during COVID. UHB runs a fully electronic healthcare record (EHR) (PICS; Birmingham Systems), a shared primary and secondary care record (Your Care Connected) and a patient portal “My Health”. Scope: All hospitalised patients from 2000 onwards, curated to focus on Urinary tract infection. Longitudinal and individually linked, so that the preceding and subsequent health journey can be mapped and healthcare utilisation prior to and after admission understood. The dataset includes highly granular patient demographics and co-morbidities taken from ICD-10 and SNOMED-CT codes. Serial, structured data pertaining to acute care process (timings, staff grades, specialty review, wards and triage). Along with presenting complaints, outpatients admissions, microbiology results, referrals, procedures, therapies, all physiology readings (pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturations and others), all blood results (urea, albumin, platelets, white blood cells and others). This dataset includes all prescribed and administered treatments including antibiotics, bacterial resistance patterns from microbiology assessments and outcomes. Linked images are also available (radiographs, CT scans, MRI). Available supplementary data: Matched controls; ambulance, OMOP data, synthetic data. Available supplementary support: Analytics, Model build, validation and refinement; A.I.; Data partner support for ETL (extract, transform and load) process, Clinical expertise, Patient and end-user access, Purchaser access, Regulatory requirements, Data-driven trials, “fast screen” services.

Pathway:
Data is representative of the multi-ethnicity population within the West Midlands (42% non white). Data includes all patients admitted during this timeframe, with National data Opt Outs applied, and therefore is representative of admissions to secondary care. Data focuses on in-patient stay in hospital during the acute episode but can be supplemented on request to include previous and subsequent hospital contacts (including outpatient appointments) and ambulance, 111, 999 data.

Accessibility

Access

Access Service:
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.
