A highly granular dataset of 7,156 Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) hospital spell admissions containing 3,520 patients curated by PIONEER.
The dataset contains highly granular data including patient demographics, structured serial physiology, assessments, liver function tests, diagnostic codes (ICD-10 & SNOMED-CT), initial presentation, presenting symptoms, procedures (OPCS4 & SNOMED-CT), medical imaging, medications, consultations, and outcomes. The current dataset includes admissions from 30-03-2000 to 30-01-2024 but can be expanded to assess other timelines of interest.
PBC is a rare, autoimmune cholestatic liver disease that puts patients at risk of life-threatening complications. PBC is primarily a disease of women, affecting approximately one in 1,000 women over the age of 40.
With an estimated total prevalence in the UK of ~3.9 per 10,000 of the population, equating to around 19,175 people in England, the survival of PBC patients is significantly worse than the general population if left untreated.
