Data collection arrangements
The NEAT database will house patient-, disease- and treatment- specific data for patients who have been admitted to the NICU in NUH and, once established, contributing NHS Trusts. Data will be stored using a secure web based TRE.
Our definitive database can collect new indices as they are reported in the literature, as well as report outcomes for specific patient groups, diseases and therapies, significantly enhancing the quality of data available for clinical research.
The data collected from electronic databases (Badger, Medway, NOTIS), medical devices (ventilators, echocardiograph) and paper nursing observation charts by the routine clinical team. The identifiable data will then be pseudonymised by NUH Digital services and inserted into a bespoke TRE hosted by University of Nottingham. Access will be granted to only the pseudonymised data relevant to individual member of the research team; universal access to all data will not be granted to all members of the NEAT group.Research programme
