National Transfusion Dataset (NTD)

The National Transfusion Dataset (NTD) is a collection of transfusion episode data incorporating transfusion, laboratory and hospital data from hospitals and health services, as well as prehospital transfusion data from ambulance and retrieval services.The NTD will form the first integrated national database of blood usage in Australia. The NTD aims to collect information about where, when, and how blood products are used across all clinical settings. This will address Australia’s absence of an integrated national database to record blood usage with the ability to link with clinical outcomes. The dataset will be an invaluable resource towards a comprehensive understanding of how and why blood products are used, numbers and characteristics of patients transfused in health services, the clinical outcomes after transfusion; and provide support to policy development and research.The NTD was formed through the incorporation of the established Australian and New Zealand Massive Transfusion Registry (ANZ-MTR) and a pilot Transfusion Database (TD) project. The ANZ-MTR has a unique focus on massive transfusion (MT) and contains over 10,000 cases from 41 hospitals across Australia and New Zealand. The TD was a trial extension of the registry that collated data on ALL (not just massive) transfusions on &gt;8000 patients from pilot hospitals. The NTD will integrate and expand these databases to provide new data on transfusion practice including blood utilisation, clinical management and the vital closing of the haemovigilance loop.<br>Conditions of use:Any material or manuscript to be published using NTD data must be submitted for review by the NTD Steering Committee prior to submission for publication. The NTD, and Partner Organisations should be acknowledged in all publications. Preferred wording for the acknowledgement will be provided with the data. The NTD reserves the right to dissociate itself from conclusions drawn if it deems necessary.If the data is the primary source for a report or publication, the source of the data must be acknowledged, along with a statement that the analysis and interpretation are those of the author, not the NTD. Where an author analysing the data is a member of an organisation formally associated, or partnered with the NTD, the NTD should be acknowledged as a secondary affiliation. Where the author is a member of the NTD Project Team, then the primary attribution should be the NTD. The dataset DOI (10.26180/22151987) must be referenced in all publications.Further information can be found in the Data Access and Publications Policy.To submit a data access request click here.国家输血数据集（National Transfusion Dataset，NTD）是一类输血事件数据集合，整合了来自医院与医疗服务机构的输血、检验及住院数据，同时涵盖救护车与急救服务机构的院前输血数据。该数据集将成为澳大利亚首个整合型全国血液使用数据库。国家输血数据集旨在采集所有临床场景下血液制品的使用地点、时间与方式相关信息，此举将填补澳大利亚缺乏可关联临床结局的整合型全国血液使用记录数据库的空白。本数据集将成为宝贵的研究资源，助力全面解析血液制品的使用方式与动因、医疗服务机构中接受输血患者的数量与特征，以及输血后的临床结局；同时可为政策制定与科学研究提供支撑。 国家输血数据集由已成熟运行的澳大利亚新西兰大量输血登记库（Australian and New Zealand Massive Transfusion Registry，ANZ-MTR）与试点输血数据库（Transfusion Database，TD）项目整合而成。ANZ-MTR的核心研究方向为大量输血（massive transfusion，MT），目前收录了来自澳大利亚与新西兰41家医院的逾10000例病例数据。TD则是该登记库的试点扩展项目，整合了来自试点医院的逾8000名患者的全部（而非仅大量输血场景）输血相关数据。国家输血数据集将整合并拓展上述两个数据库，为输血实践提供全新数据，包括血液使用情况、临床管理以及至关重要的血液警戒闭环完善等内容。 使用规范： 凡使用NTD数据发表的相关材料或稿件，需在投稿前提交至NTD指导委员会进行审核。所有发表成果均需致谢国家输血数据集与合作机构。致谢的标准措辞将随数据一同提供。若有必要，国家输血数据集有权声明与研究结论无关联。 若本数据集为报告或出版物的核心数据来源，则需注明数据来源，并声明分析与解读仅代表作者本人，而非国家输血数据集。若分析数据的作者隶属于与国家输血数据集正式合作或关联的机构，则需将国家输血数据集列为第二附属机构。若作者为国家输血数据集项目组成员，则需将国家输血数据集列为主要署名机构。所有发表成果均需引用本数据集的数字对象唯一标识符（Digital Object Identifier，DOI）：10.26180/22151987。 更多信息可查阅《数据获取与出版规范》。提交数据获取申请请点击此处。
