raw.tpp schema🔗

Available on backends: TPP

This schema defines the data (both primary care and externally linked) available in the OpenSAFELY-TPP backend. For more information about this backend, see "SystmOne Primary Care".

The data provided by this schema are minimally transformed. They are very close to the data provided by the underlying database tables. They are provided for data development and data curation purposes.

To use this schema in an ehrQL file:

covid_therapeutics_raw🔗

The COVID Therapeutics dataset contains information on COVID treatments used in inpatient and outpatient settings.

Metadata

Data provider NHS England
Participation / Coverage Inpatients and outpatients treated with antivirals/nMABs for COVID-19 in England
Provenance Data sourced largely from BlueTeq system (forms completed by clinicians)
Update frequency in OpenSAFELY Approximately weekly
Delay between event occurring and event appearing in OpenSAFELY Approximately 2-9 days
Collected information Treatment start date; therapeutic intervention; COVID indication, current status, risk group, region

Overview

Antivirals and neutralising monoclonal antibodies (nMABs) for COVID-19 can be administered in inpatient setting or, for outpatients, in COVID Medicine Delivery Units (CMDUs) specifically set up for this purpose. For patients considered for these treatments, clinicians submit completed forms to NHS England. Each row represents one completed form for one course of treatment. Data received by OpenSAFELY currently covers patients who were approved for treatment. The patient may or may not have actually received the treatment or completed the course (but we assume that they usually do). They may have another form completed for another treatment, either because it was decided to give them a different treatment, or for some other reason. They may in theory also have another form completed some months later for another instance of infection.

Treatment dates may be in the past or future at the point when the form is submitted.

Note that this dataset contains some duplicate rows – some full duplicates and some partial duplicates.

isaric🔗

ISARIC is a dataset of COVID-19-related hospital admissions, with coverage across the majority of hospitals across the UK, including much richer clinical information than collected in national Hospital Episode Statistics datasets.

The data in this table covers a subset of the ISARIC data columns available in TPP, sourced from the ISARIC COVID-19 Clinical Database.

All columns included have deliberately been taken as strings while in a preliminary phase.

Descriptions taken from CCP_REDCap_ISARIC_data_dictionary_codebook.pdf which also has information on the data expected for each column.

Warning

ISARIC data can only be used in collaboration with ISARIC researchers who must be involved in working on the study and writing it up.

Refer to the OpenSAFELY database build report to see when this data was last updated.

ons_deaths🔗

Registered deaths

Date and cause of death based on information recorded when deaths are certified and registered in England and Wales from February 2019 onwards. The data provider is the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This table is updated approximately weekly in OpenSAFELY.

This table includes the underlying cause of death, place of death, and up to 15 medical conditions mentioned on the death certificate. These codes (cause_of_death_01 to cause_of_death_15) are not ordered meaningfully.

More information about this table can be found in following documents provided by the ONS:

In the associated database table ONS_Deaths, a small number of patients have multiple registered deaths. This table contains all registered deaths. The ehrql.tables.ons_deaths table contains the earliest registered death.

Tip

To return one row per patient from ehrql.tables.raw.tpp.ons_deaths, for example the latest registered death, you can use:
