: This study was conducted according to GSK SOP52213 (Conducting Quality Control Review of Study Results generated using Existing Data in VEO and USVEO) and complied with all applicable laws regarding patient privacy. CPRD has NHS Health Research Authority (HRA) Research Ethics Committee (REC) approval to allow the collection and release of anonymised primary care data for observational research [NHS HRA REC reference number: 05/MRE04/87]. Each year, CPRD obtains Section 251 regulatory support through the HRA Confidentiality Advisory Group (CAG), to enable patient identifiers, without accompanying clinical data, to flow from CPRD contributing GP practices in England to NHS Digital, for the purposes of data linkage [CAG reference number: 21/CAG/0008]. The protocol for this research was approved by CPRD’s Research Data Governance (RDG) Process (protocol number: 221602) and the approved protocol is available upon request. Linked pseudonymised data were provided for this study by CPRD. Data are linked by NHS Digital, the statutory trusted third party for linking data, using identifiable data held only by NHS Digital. Select general practices consent to this process at a practice level with individual patients having the right to opt-out. This study is based in part on data from the CPRD obtained under license from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. The data are provided by patients and collected by the NHS as part of their care and support. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) was the provider of the ONS Data contained within the CPRD Data and maintains a Copyright © [2025], The Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) was the provider of HES-Admitted Patient Care and HES-Outpatient databases contained within the CPRD Data and maintain a Copyright © [2025] and Copyright © [2025] respectively. Linked data were re-used with the permission of The Health & Social Care Information Centre, all rights reserved. As this study used aggregate CPRD-HES data omitting patient identification, no patient contact or primary collection of data from human participants was required. The interpretation and conclusions contained in this study are those of the authors alone.
