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，缩写NTD）是一组输血事件数据集，整合了来自医院与医疗服务机构的输血、检验及住院相关数据，同时涵盖急救与转运服务提供的院前输血数据。该数据集将成为澳大利亚首个整合式全国血液使用数据库。其目标是收集全临床场景下血液制品的使用地点、时间及方式相关信息，此举将填补澳大利亚缺乏可关联临床结局的血液使用记录整合式全国数据库的空白。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研工作提供支撑。 国家输血数据集由已成型的澳大利亚与新西兰大量输血登记库（Australian and New Zealand Massive Transfusion Registry，缩写ANZ-MTR）以及试点输血数据库（Transfusion Database，缩写TD）项目整合而来。ANZ-MTR的核心聚焦于大量输血（massive transfusion，缩写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。TD则是该登记库的试点扩展项目，整合了来自试点医院的8000余名患者的全部（而非仅大量输血）输血相关数据。国家输血数据集将整合并扩展上述两类数据库，提供输血实践相关的全新数据，包括血液利用情况、临床管理以及至关重要的血液警戒闭环完善。 使用条款： 使用NTD数据发表的任何材料或稿件，需在投稿前提交至NTD指导委员会进行审核。所有发表成果中均需对NTD及其合作机构致谢，致谢的标准措辞将随数据一同提供。NTD保留在必要时对其所援引的研究结论不予认可的权利。 若数据为报告或发表成果的核心数据源，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NTD的观点。若分析数据的作者隶属于与NTD正式合作或关联的机构，则需将NTD列为第二附属机构致谢；若作者为NTD项目组成员，则需将NTD列为主要署名来源。所有发表成果均需引用该数据集的数字对象唯一标识符（Digital Object Identifier，缩写DOI）10.26180/22151987。 更多信息可查阅《数据获取与出版政策》。提交数据获取申请请点击此处。
