Description

The Brain Health Data Pilot (BHDP) project aims to be a shared database (like a library) of information for scientists studying brain health, especially for diseases like dementia, which affects about 900,000 people in the UK. Its main feature is a huge collection of brain images linked to routinely collected health records, both from NHS Scotland, which will help scientists learn more about dementia and other brain diseases. What is special about this database is that it will get better over time – as scientists use it and add their discoveries, it becomes more valuable. This is a subset of the Mental Health Inpatient and Day Case - Scottish Morbidity Record (SMR04) dataset for use in the Brain Health Data Pilot (BHDP) project. The dataset contains a wide variety of information such as patient characteristics, mental health diagnosis, length of stay, destination on discharge, whether they are admitted under Mental Health Legislation and any previous psychiatric care. Patient identifiers such as name, date of birth, Community Health Index number, NHS number, and postcode are included together with a wide variety of geographical measures. This includes the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation and Carstairs measures, census output area, NHS Board, Electoral Ward and Parliamentary constituency.
