Social and environmental determinants of health are of critical importance, but are rarely captured in health data. To address this, PIONEER have curated a highly granular dataset of 8,803 spells admitted to Intensive care unit. The dataset not only includes detailed demography, presenting symptoms, comorbidities, serial physiology and acuity, all investigations and treatments (including all medicines, their doses and routes) but also all ventilatory parameters. This is mapped on an individual patient level to weather data, geolocation and measures of social deprivation. The current dataset includes admissions from 01-02-2020 to 28-02-2022 but can be expanded to assess other timelines of interest.

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.
