QResearch is a database of anonymised health records of over 35 million patients in the UK. It is derived from general practices using the EMIS clinical computer system. QResearch is used to answer urgent questions about COVID- and other health issues. QResearch is located at the University of Oxford and is available for use by researchers.
Some of the products that QResearch offers are:
QCOVID: a risk prediction model for COVID- outcomes such as hospitalisation, intensive care admission and death.
QCancer: a risk prediction model for 20 common cancers based on patient characteristics and symptoms.
QFracture: a risk prediction model for fracture risk based on clinical risk factors.
QRisk: a family of cardiovascular disease risk calculators that estimate the 10-year risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and chronic kidney disease.
The pricing of QResearch products depends on the type and scope of the project. Researchers can apply for access to QResearch data by filling out an online form and submitting a research proposal.
QResearch is one of the largest and most comprehensive primary care databases in the world. It has several advantages over other databases such as:
It covers a large and representative sample of the UK population across different regions, ages, ethnicities and socio-economic groups.
It has high-quality data that are regularly updated, validated and audited.
It has rich longitudinal data that span over 30 years and include multiple health outcomes, interventions and exposures.
It has linkages to other sources of data such as cancer registries, death certificates, hospital records and COVID- testing data.
Some of the competitors of QResearch are:
Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD): a database of anonymised health records from primary care practices using Vision software. CPRD covers about 7% of the UK population and has linkages to secondary care data such as hospital episodes statistics (HES) [https://www.cprd.com/]
The Health Improvement Network (THIN): a database of anonymised health records from primary care practices using Vision software. THIN covers about 6% of the UK population and has linkages to secondary care data such as HES [https://www.the-health-improvement-network.co.uk/]
UK Biobank: a cohort study of about 500, volunteers who provided blood samples, physical measurements, lifestyle information and consented to linkage to their health records. Do you have any questions?🤔
