PIONEER includes de-identified/pseudonymised data from patients who were seen by an acute care provider from 1st January 2000 and will include data from patients until the project closes (2025 at the earliest). Each dataset will be bespoke, creating to match the specific project.
Some of our datasets are listed below, but each can be finessed or expanded to meet your direct requirements, and many other conditions, pathways or therapy areas are available. If you don’t see what you need, please contact a member of the PIONEER team.
Specialist datasets available

Identification of Medical Admissions Suitable for Same Day Emergency Care
Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) is beneficial for patients, as hospital admission and its associated risks can be avoided. This dataset includes all acute medical admissions to University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust (UHB) from January 2004 to September 2020 onwards.

Characterisation of hospitalised COPD exacerbations using real world data
Chronic respiratory diseases remain one of the leading causes of death from non-communicable disease, with the majority of deaths due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD presents a significant healthcare burden and is detrimental to quality of life. Currently, there are no disease modifying treatments.

The impact of COVID on hospitalised patients with COPD and hospital services
This dataset explores the impact of hospitalisation and service use in patients with COPD during the COVID pandemic.

Investigating the impact of frailty, age and illness severity during COVID-19
Frailty is a syndrome of increased vulnerability to incomplete resolution of homeostasis following a stressor event and it is associated with poor outcomes including increased mortality and reduced quality of life. Prevalence increases with age, but it should not be considered an inevitable consequence of ageing.

Clinical response thresholds (acuity) in acutely unwell patients: onset-outcome
Early warning systems (EWS) are bedside tools used to assess basic physiological parameters to identify patients with potential or established critical illness.

Risk and outcomes of coagulopathies in acutely unwell adults
Coagulopathies and bleeding disorders can reflect hereditary conditions such as Haemophilia or von Willebrand disease, be associated with other diseases such as liver conditions, sepsis, trauma or be iatrogenic, related to therapies or their side effects.

Ventilation strategies for patients on intensive care
Acute respiratory failure is commonly encountered in the emergency department (ED). Early treatment can have positive effects on long-term outcome.

Deeply-phenotyped hospital COVID patients: Acuity, severity, therapies, outcomes
Acuity scores are composite scores which help identify patients who are more unwell to support and prioritise clinical care.

The impact of ethnicity and multi-morbidity on C19 hospitalised outcomes
Some individuals experience severe manifestations of infection, including adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death.

The impact of hospitalised patients with COPD: from admission to outcome
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a debilitating lung condition characterised by progressive lung function limitation.

Deeply phenotyped sepsis patients within hospital: onset, treatments & outcomes
Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection and is a global health challenge.

OMOP dataset: Hospital COVID patients: severity, acuity, therapies, outcomes
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified in January 2020. Currently, there have been more than 6 million cases& more than 1.5 million deaths worldwide.

2019 Summer Society of Acute Medicine Benchmarking Audit Hospital care pathways
The Society for Acute Medicine (SAM) Benchmark Audit (SAMBA) is a national benchmark audit of acute medical care.

Winter 2020 Society of Acute Medicine Benchmarking Audit Hospital care pathways
The Society for Acute Medicine (SAM) Benchmark Audit (SAMBA) is a national benchmark audit of acute medical care.

The impact of COVID on hospitalised patients with COPD: a dataset in OMOP
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a debilitating lung condition characterised by progressive lung function limitation.

Coagulopathies & arterial/venous thrombosis in COVID patients: an OMOP dataset
In December 2019, the first case of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) was described and by March 2020, the World Health Organization had declared the disease a pandemic.

Ventilatory strategies and outcomes for patients with COVID: a dataset in OMOP
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified in January 2020. Currently, there have been more than 6 million cases & more than 1.5 million deaths worldwide.
