Background Long COVID describes new or persistent symptoms at least 4 weeks after onset of acute COVID-19. Clinical codes to describe this phenomenon were recently created. Aim To the use long-COVID codes, and variation by general practice, demographic variables, over time. Design setting Population-based cohort study in English primary care. Method Working on behalf NHS England, OpenSAFELY data used encompassing 96% population between 1 February 2020 25 May 2021. The proportion people with...
Abstract Background On December 8th 2020, NHS England administered the first COVID-19 vaccination as part of an ambitious programme during a global health emergency. Aims To describe trends and variation in vaccine coverage by key clinical demographic groups; to create framework for near-real-time monitoring subgroups. Methods Working on behalf we analysed 57.9 million patient records situ within infrastructure Electronic Health Record (EHR) software vendors EMIS TPP using OpenSAFELY. We...

Routinely recorded primary care data have been used for many years by sentinel networks surveillance. More recently, real world a wider range of research projects to support rapid, inexpensive clinical trials. Because the partial national lockdown in United Kingdom due coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted decreasing community incidence, much larger numbers general practices are needed deliver effective COVID-19 surveillance and contribute in-pandemic
The goal of this study is to address two major issues that undermine the large scale deployment smart home sensing solutions in people's homes. These include costs associated with having install and maintain a number sensors, pragmatics annotating numerous sensor data streams for activity classification. Our aim was therefore propose method describe individual users' behavioural patterns starting from unannotated analysis minimal sensors "blind" approach recognition. methodology included...
Background The COVID-19 pandemic affected how care was delivered to vulnerable patients, such as those with dementia or learning disability. Objective To explore whether this antipsychotic prescribing in at-risk populations. Methods With the approval of NHS England, we completed a retrospective cohort study, using OpenSAFELY platform primary data 59 million patients. We identified patients five groups: autism, dementia, disability, serious mental illness and home residents. calculated...
Objective To implement complex, PINCER (pharmacist led information technology intervention) prescribing indicators, on a national scale with general practice data to describe the impact of covid-19 pandemic safe prescribing. Design Population based, retrospective cohort study using federated analytics. Setting Electronic health record from 56.8 million NHS patients by use OpenSAFELY platform, approval National Health Service (NHS) England. Participants (aged 18-120 years) who were alive and...
New patient-centric integrated care models are enabled by the capability to exchange patient's data amongst stakeholders, who each specialise in different aspects of care. This requires a robust, trusted and flexible mechanism for patients offer consent share their data. Furthermore, new IT technologies make it easier give more control over data, including right revoke consent. These characteristics challenge traditional paper-based, single-organisation-led process. The Dovetail digital...
Abstract Objective To describe the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on safe prescribing, using PINCER prescribing indicators; to implement complex indicators at national scale GP data. Design Population based cohort study, with approval NHS England OpenSAFELY platform. Setting Electronic health record data from 56.8 million patients’ general practice records. Participants All patients registered a TPP or EMIS computer systems and recorded as risk least one potentially hazardous indicator between...

Clinical codes this phenomenon were released in November 2020 the UK, but it not known how these have been used practice. Methods Working on behalf NHS England, we OpenSAFELY data encompassing 96% English population. We measured proportion people with recorded code for long COVID, overall and by demographic factors, electronic health record software system, week....

Background Priority patients in England were offered COVID-19 vaccination by mid-April 2021. Codes clinical record systems can denote the vaccine being declined. Aim We describe records of vaccines declined, according to and demographic factors. Methods With approval NHS England, we conducted a retrospective cohort study between 8 December 2020 25 May 2021 with primary care for 57.9 million using OpenSAFELY, secure health analytics platform. priority those aged ≥ 50 years or 16 clinically...

Abstract Background All patients in England within vaccine priority groups were offered a COVID-19 by mid-April 2021. Clinical record systems contain codes to denote when such an offer has been declined patient (although these can some cases be entered for variety of other reasons including vaccination delay, or administrative issues). We set out describe the patterns usage vaccines being declined. Methods With approval NHS and using full pseudonymised primary care records 57.9 million...
