Description:
Viral pneumonia is common, caused by a variety of pathogens including seasonal influenza and respiratory syncytial virus. Secondary bacterial infections are common and can account for increased morbidity and mortality. This may be due to viral-mediated immunosuppression of the host innate immune system.
Antibiotics are usually given for pneumonia, most commonly penicillins and macrolides. There is some evidence that macrolides may improve outcomes from influenza however, this has not been explored in large studies.
PIONEER and the NIHR Birmingham BRC Infections and Acute Care theme have curated a highly granular dataset of 2,692 viral pneumonia admissions, working with Respiratory specialists. The data includes demography, serial physiology, investigations, treatments (drug, dose, route), diagnostic codes (ICD-10 & SNOMED-CT), initial presentation, presenting symptoms, outcomes, and several severity scoring systems including National Early Warning Score (NEWS2), Clinical Frailty Score (CFS), Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) and AVPU score (Alert, Voice, Pain, Unresponsive). It also includes results from viral swabs and standard microbiological tests.
Geography: The West Midlands (WM) has a population of 6 million & includes a diverse ethnic & socio-economic mix. UHB is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England, providing direct acute services & specialist care across four hospital sites, with 2.2 million patient episodes per year, 2750 beds & > 120 ITU bed capacity. UHB runs a fully electronic healthcare record (EHR) (PICS; Birmingham Systems), a shared primary & secondary care record (Your Care Connected) & a patient portal “My Health”.
Data set availability: Data access is available via the PIONEER Hub for projects which will benefit the public or patients. This can be by developing a new understanding of disease, by providing insights into how to improve care, or by developing new models, tools, treatments, or care processes. Data access can be provided to NHS, academic, commercial, policy and third sector organisations. Applications from SMEs are welcome. There is a single data access process, with public oversight provided by our public review committee, the Data Trust Committee. Contact pioneer@uhb.nhs.uk or visit www.pioneerdatahub.co.uk for more details.
Available supplementary data: Matched controls; ambulance and community data. Unstructured data (images). We can provide the dataset in OMOP and other common data models and can build synthetic data to meet bespoke requirements.

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.
