This highly granular synthetic dataset created as an asset for the HDR UK Medicines programme includes information on 680 cancer patients over a period of three years. Includes simulated patient-related data, such as demographics & co-morbidities extracted from ICD-10 and SNOMED-CT codes. Serial, structured data pertaining to acute care process (readmissions, survival), primary diagnosis, presenting complaint, physiology readings, blood results (infection, inflammatory markers) and acuity markers such as AVPU Scale, NEWS2 score, imaging reports, prescribed & administered treatments including fluids, blood products, procedures, information on outpatient admissions and survival outcomes following one-year post discharge.

The data was generated using a generative adversarial network model (CTGAN). A flat real data table was created by consolidating essential information from various key relational tables (medications, demographics). A synthetic version of the flat table was generated using a customized script based on the SDV package (N. Patki, 2016), that replicated the real distribution and logic relationships.

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 provide the real-data via application.

Available supplementary support: Analytics, model build, validation & refinement; A.I. support. Data partner support for ETL (extract, transform & load) processes. Bespoke and “off the shelf” Trusted Research Environment (TRE) build and run. Consultancy with clinical, patient & end-user and purchaser access/ support. Support for regulatory requirements. Cohort discovery. Data-driven trials and “fast screen” services to assess population size.
