Declarations
:
: 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 Sect. 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: 22_002317) and the approved protocol is available upon request. Generic ethical approval for observational research using CPRD with approval from RDG was granted by a Health Research Authority (HRA) Research Ethics Committee (East Midlands Derby, REC reference number: 05/MRE04/87) and informed consent was waived. All data analysis was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Linked pseudonymised data was provided for this study by CPRD. Data is 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.
