CPRD GOLD Small Area data (practice) March 2021

The general practice postcode linkages are available for all practices in CPRD GOLD and CPRD Aurum and use the general practice postcode which is linked via LSOA, SOA in Northern Ireland and datazone (DZ) in Scotland. The general practice postcode linkage includes several well-known area-based measures of deprivation, of which two (Index of Multiple Deprivation and Carstairs Index) are available at the LSOA level for linkage to CPRD primary care data through the practice postcode. Access is provided by CPRD subject to protocol approval. Further information is available at https://www.cprd.com/linked-data.临床实践研究数据链（Clinical Practice Research Datalink, CPRD）的GOLD与Aurum版本中，所有全科医疗机构均提供邮政编码关联数据。此类关联依托全科医疗机构的邮政编码，通过英格兰及威尔士的下层超级输出区（Lower Layer Super Output Area, LSOA）、北爱尔兰的超级输出区（Super Output Area, SOA）以及苏格兰的数据区（Datazone, DZ）完成关联。该邮政编码关联数据集包含多项广为使用的区域层面贫困测度指标，其中两项——多重剥夺指数（Index of Multiple Deprivation, IMD）与卡斯特斯指数（Carstairs Index）可基于下层超级输出区（LSOA）层级，通过医疗机构邮政编码与CPRD初级保健数据实现关联。CPRD将在研究方案获得审批后提供该数据集的访问权限。更多相关信息可访问https://www.cprd.com/linked-data。
