MICA: Centre for the Improvement of Population Health through E-health Research (CIPHER)

Lead Research Organisation: Swansea University
Department Name: Institute of Life Science Medical School

Abstract

The aim of the Centre for Improving Population Health through E-Health Research (CIPHER) is to carry out research that will improve the health of the nation. It will do this by developing new methods to anonymise, link and analyse healthcare and similar data, to answer a wide range of important research questions. We will often work with researchers who have established large cohort studies, helping them make their cohorts more powerful, longer lasting, and cheaper to operate. E-health research is a new field and so CIPHER will be focussing on training researchers in how to use these data and methods.

CIPHER has four core research programmes: The first focuses on developing robust new methods to allow health and other information to be anonymised and analysed. For example, developing ways in which researchers accessing data cannot possibly identify the individuals involved, thereby ensuring that privacy is protected. CIPHER's other three research programmes focus on the impact on people's lives of (1) injury and the built environment; (2) mental health and substance use; and (3) infection. CIPHER researchers will undertake a range of studies to provide better insight into the causes of disease and injury, the consequences of these conditions on individuals and the population, and evaluations of treatments and policies which are designed to improve health. Knowledge of the longer term individual and societal impact of many conditions and treatments is currently very limited, as long term studies are very expensive. CIPHER's work will enable the long term follow up of outcomes using anonymised data, answering these questions effectively but at far less cost. Within its research programmes CIPHER will address many scientific questions, including: How effective are fall-prevention initiatives for older people? What is the impact of giving Vitamin D supplements to people in care homes in reducing hip fractures? Can linked data be used to help Fire and Rescue services prevent more home fires? Have interventions to make homes warmer reduced the number of deaths in winter? How much does substance use in young adults contribute to mental health problems? Does opiate substitution therapy in prison reduce the risk of death following prison release? Can linked routine data be used to identify opportunities to intervene in pathways to harm for people who self-harm or die by suicide? How can information be better used to reduce antibiotic resistant infections? Are the different micro-organisms we carry in our bowels involved in the development of serious health conditions?

CIPHER will work with the NHS to develop better ways to measure patients' experiences and treatment outcomes. CIPHER will also develop methods to enable linkage of anonymised treatment data to important social outcomes such as staying in work, continuing in education, or being able to live independently at home. Such information will help the NHS design its services to meet a broader range of patients' needs. CIPHER's believes it is important to communicate effectively with patients, patient groups and the public at large about its research. A significant part of our work therefore will be setting up ways to aid this communication. We will have public representatives involved in our research throughout and they will help guide us and help us communicate effectively with wider groups.

CIPHER will be one of a small number of similar Centres that is being set up in the UK and we will be working together to train researchers in these new methods and making sure universities have suitable jobs for them. CIPHER aims to be an internationally recognised centre of expertise in the use of electronic health and associated records for research and, along with other network members, position the UK as the world leader in the field, improving the population's health, increasing UK research income, and improving the economy.

Technical Summary

The vision of the Centre for Improving Population Health through E-Health Research (CIPHER) is to maximise the utility of routine health-related data on the UK population to support research to improve the nation's health. Objectives are: to provide a focus for innovative research using electronic health records; undertake novel linkage and analyses of large datasets; and build multi-disciplinary research capacity. The Centre will deliver four research programmes in: methodological innovation; injury, the built environment and health; psychosocial determinants of health; and, population aspect of infection. Much of the methodological work will be on enabling data to be used whilst protecting and ensuring privacy. The development of an anonymised data linkage platform will enable previously infeasible, large scale observational and interventional studies to be undertaken. CIPHER will address many scientific questions, including those listed below. How can data linkage improve measurement of the national and global burden of injury? What is the population impact of fall-prevention initiatives, Vitamin D supplements and targeted fire prevention activities? Have energy efficiency interventions reduced excess winter mortality? What is the relationship between urban design, obesity and mental health? To what extent do care and repair services protect health and prolong independent living? Is cannabis, alcohol and tobacco use associated with increased risk of psychosis? What is the burden of mental disorder in the young adult population from substance use? Does opiate therapy in prison reduce risk of death in the period immediately following prison release? Can linked routine data be used to identify opportunities to intervene in pathways to harm for people who self-harm or die by suicide? How can linked data be used to evaluate interventions to reduce antibiotic resistant infections? Does carriage of bowel microflora influence development of bowel disorders?

Planned Impact

There are many different groups who will benefit from the research programmes outlined in this bid. The first group is the UK and global academic community. Creating novel methodologies and innovative e-health technology platforms will enable previously infeasible and unaffordable cutting-edge, large scale, observational and evaluative studies to be undertaken, resulting in a step change in research capability, capacity and efficiency. This is turn will result in substantially enhanced scientific understanding of disease aetiology, disease prevention and management. The scientific outputs of such research will be reflected in high impact scientific publications and the development of new research programmes by funding agencies.

Much of the research to be carried out by CIPHER is designed to be relevant to a very broad cross-cutting policy agenda and we would expect the results of the work to influence UK Government and international policies in several areas. Themes such as health and wellbeing, the 'Big Society' social mobility, housing, and healthy ageing are reflected in current UK policy documents and statements. Over time the focus may be on other areas but the breadth and scale of data linkage envisaged in the CIPHER application will be capable of dealing with new policy concerns. One of the difficulties policy makers face is great uncertainty about the impact of policies, particularly those which affect multiple Government departments or sectors. The research programmes outlined in this application demonstrate the potential to link data across multiple sectors to answer these difficult questions in a series of innovative demonstration studies. For example, anonymised linkage of health, benefits, housing and other datasets, together with the development of information platforms capable of evaluating natural experiments, policies, and interventions led by health, local government or the third sector, will provide new knowledge which will influence policy at multiple levels, including those who create, implement or evaluate policies. One would expect the results of such research to lead to increased effectiveness of public services, enhanced quality of life, and improved economic performance through better health and a variety of other mechanisms. Improved health results in reduced costs from disability associated benefits, delayed requirement for assisted living and care in an ageing population, increased employment, and improvements in the competitiveness of the UK economy. A considerable growth in e-health employment is envisaged in both academic and private sectors to take advantage of the increased availability of data and skills resulting from the e-health research initiative. This in turn should result in an increase in the UK capture of global research funds, greater inward investment and increased employment which will benefit the UK knowledge and general economy.

Research funding bodies and researchers are increasingly asked to demonstrate the social impact of their research. This has proven to be quite a challenge as many traditional research projects take time to impact as funding is generally over too short a period to capture much of the longer term benefits. It is likely that the financial and societal benefits from health research are considerably underestimated. Longitudinal cross-sectional data linkage is essential in accurately quantifying the longer term impact of investments in scientific research on the population's health, wellbeing and wealth.

The benefits of such research will start to be seen within the first few years of the Centre and should increase exponentially thereafter as the number of studies utilising the UK e-health platforms grows.

Impact The research has helped policymakers make evidence-based decisions about the population impact of PSA-based screening for prostate cancer. The CAP trial led to changes in health policy and professional guidelines around the world, with clinicians and health services now advised to encourage individualised shared decision-making (informing men of the possible harms and benefits and supporting decision making) rather than routine screening. These new guidelines help ensure that patients (men aged 50-69 years), GPs and urologists are better informed about the benefits and harms of PSA screening for prostate cancer.

Title DPUK Data Portal 
Description The DPUK Data Portal has been relaunched to include a seamless transition from the DPUK main welcome site into the research infrastructure. The Portal, hosted by Swansea University, now includes openly available metadata on the DPUK cohorts, as well as information on the various parts of the infrastructure, which include: Portal analysis environment powered by virtual desktop infrastructure, imaging platform powered by XNAT, genetic platform created by Digital Health Labs, data linkage possibilities using world-leading matching technology, and a new and easy-to-use application form for researchers to apply for access to data, based on categorised dementia-specific data ontologies. The Portal is now supporting data access applications with dedicated resource to manage this process, and data management based on consultation with other data consortia and the cohorts themselves is underway using novel data management infrastructure (research data appliance based at Swansea University), enabling governance to remain entirely with the data provider and data access permissions to be managed by a central facility. 
Type Of Material Improvements to research infrastructure 
Year Produced 2017 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact The relaunch of the Portal has seen a surge in scientific collaboration in DPUK - for the period November 2017-January 2018, there are 12 live studies on the Portal, all using multiple cohorts and all cross-institution, including internationally-led studies from Maastricht University and the University of Hong Kong. These studies have primarily phenotypic data as their main modality, however we are also seeing the combination of phenotypic, genotypic and imaging data in studies, thus showing the power of a central system for accessing and analysing data from previously disparate sources. Genetics and imaging work packages are also contributing to the studies being supported by DPUK, and the Portal is making data available to specialists in these areas in order for them to derive services for the epidemiological community to make use of data that was previously unobtainable, either due to access difficulties or specialist intervention being necessary.

Title DPUK Data Portal Datathon Virtual Desktop 
Description Bespoke virtual desktop infrastructure for DPUK Datathons - comprising of dedicated 32GB RAM/4 CPU machines supporting up to 60 concurrent users. Pre-loaded with software such as Stata 16, SPSS, SAS, R, Python (Anaconda), PyCharm, Spyder, Jupyter Notebook, Eclipse, SQL Server Management Studio, Matlab, and Office. 
Type Of Material Improvements to research infrastructure 
Year Produced 2018 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact The dedicated Datathon desktop has allowed us to run 4 DPUK Datathon events across the UK, which have had an international audience of over 150 researchers cumulatively.

Title SAIL Dementia eCohort (SAILDeC) 
Description DPUK has funded the creation of the SAIL (Secure Anonymised Information Linkage) Databank Dementia eCohort, known as SAILDeC. A team from the University of Edinburgh, led by Dr Tim Wilkinson and Dr Christian Schnier, have developed a research cohort from routine healthcare records found in the SAIL Databank, a research databank containing routine healthcare and adminstrative records for the Welsh populace. The eCohort is derived from 1.2 million individuals who met the inclusion criteria, and of those, ~130,000 dementia cases throughout the data coverage have been identified. This represents the first UK research-ready disease cohort derived solely from routine healthcare records, which can be analysed in its own right or combined with other rich sources of cohort and routine data. It is thought that the technical components of creating the cohort, in terms of coding and initial analysis, could be the lead for future eCohort generation in other disease fields. These eCohorts could then be analysed within their specific area of science, or combined for a rich multi-morbidity database. 
Type Of Material Database/Collection of data 
Year Produced 2019 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact This is the first disease-specific eCohort of patients to be created from ~20 years of routine healthcare data. It provides a rich dementia-specific resource for episodic progression of patients with initial MCI through to mortality, and every stage in between. The process of creating the cohort can inform the creation of such cohorts from the SAIL source and other routine clinical data sources in many disease areas. 
 
Title The Housing Regeneration and Health Study dataset 
Description Data held within the SAIL gateway to analyse an intervention on housing and health 
Type Of Material Database/Collection of data 
Year Produced 2016 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact Dataset allowed us to evaluate a regional housing intervention at the individual level to produce exciting results about the impact on emergency hospital admissions. Dataset is available to use through the SAIL gateway. We are attempting to secure funding for further analyses through the ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership awards 
 
Title Dementias Platform UK Data Portal 
Description The DPUK Data Portal is a platform to allow the ingress of data from cohort studies and real-world evidence data from across the UK and internationally. The Portal allows access, subject to data provider approval, to said data via an integrated application system, and provides an analysis environment on remote desktop to allow distributed team science from anywhere in the world. The Portal environment comprises of front end user tools, a virtual desktop infrastructure for data analysis, a security system for permissions management and data upload, and an underlying architecture of substantial storage and applications to support the data needs. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2017 
Impact To date (early 2019) we have had ~80 applications for cohort data via our new processes. Of these, 50 have been approved and at least 25 studies are underway with analysis of their approved cohort data. All of these studies are contributing to the dementia research community with a mixture of traditional epidemiological hypotheses, methodology validation, complex machine learning, and statistical modelling all being achieved in the Portal. Website: https://portal.dementiasplatform.uk 
 
Title UKSeRP (UK Secure eResearch Platform) 
Description UKSeRP is a secure data management and analysis platform created through MRC's capital investment in the Farr Institute. It is an integrated suite of hardware and software tools that enables uses to upload and remotely manage their data and make the data available for analysis to distributed research teams. UKSeRP instances have been created for the MRC Dementias Platform UK, UK Biobank outcome adjudication group, ALSPAC, linked Millennium Cohort Data and the Multiple Sclerosis Register. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2014 
Impact UKSeRP supports the development and implementation of distributed multi-disciplinary UK Team Science in providing access to multi-modal multi-cohort data.

Results and Impact MRC recently launched a Mental Health Data Pathfinder call. The development of a coordinated informatics resource for mental health research is a key priority of the MRC's Strategy for Lifelong Mental Health. In taking forward this strategy, a rapid spend call for institutional awards was launched to lay the groundwork for the development of a Mental Health Research Platform. The purpose of this call is to provide flexible pump-priming funds, of up to £1.5m per research organisation, to support the development of such a resource and address key challenges in: data discoverability; methodologies for data linkage, integration and interoperability; harmonisation of mental health measures; and feasibility studies for scaling up for the next phase of platform development. Details of the call can be found here:
https://www.mrc.ac.uk/funding/browse/mh-data-pathfinder/mental-health-data-pathfinder/

I was recruited to a Panel to provide expert review of applications and attend the meeting on the 9th of February 2018 at MRC Head Office in London. It is envisaged that Panel members would also be involved in the assessment of bids for a future MRC investment in a Mental Health Research Platform.

Results and Impact As a recipient of funding from CLOSER for a project (led by Andy Boyd) focussing on the sharing/co-analysis of sensitive data I was invited to contribute to this workshop which was pitched at a mathematically more technical audience with greater theoretical and practical experience in working in data integration and the sharing of sensitive information than at most of the venues where I present. As well as describing DataSHIELD and its role as tool to support the sharing/co-analysis of sensitive data, I was also able to provide the workshop with practical issues and challenges arising from my work with the 1958 Birth Cohort under 58READIE (now 58FORWARDS) grant and ALSPAC.

This was particularly useful for me because it enabled me to get more technical feedback than I usually receive. This was useful not only for DataSHIELD development, but also for strategy relating to infrastructural development under the 58FORWARDS grant

The mid-day presentation was delivered to an audience of about 100 members of the public, as part of the public engagement remit of the festival. To make the presentation more accessible and engaging, co-presenter Martin Heaven dressed up as a giant jigsaw puzzle piece and involved members of the audience in an exercise of assembling further puzzle pieces into a metaphorical linked dataset.

The webpage includes:
"The event was attended by policy makers, social scientists, statisticians and others interested in social and health research. Delegates came to find out more about how administrative data from Wales and Scotland has been utilised to carry out research on alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm.

One focus of the event was around the change in alcohol outlet density and alcohol-related harm to population health (CHALICE), a comprehensive record-linked database study in Wales. The CHALICE study carried out a natural experiment of change in alcohol outlet density between 2006 and 2011 in Wales on alcohol consumption and alcohol related harm, using novel geographic information system (GIS), administrative and survey data linkage and statistical methods".

Results and Impact I led the workshop and gave two lectures. The workshop focused on the importance and challenges associated with largescale sharing and co-analysis of biomedical/health/social data - particularly data that might be classified as sensitive. This pushed forward international discussion of a number of strategies for taking forward new approaches (including governance) and tools for managing, sharing and co-analysing sensitive data in the biomedical, health and social sciences

The workshop has catalysed a follow-up workshop in the coming year.
