Anonymised patient data on pancreatic cancer
To whom it may concern,
I am requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am seeking anonymised patient data collected by NHS England on those with each stage of pancreatic cancer as well as those without it to analyse the relationships between different variables and pancreatic cancer.
I want the following anonymised patient information, with labels recording whether the patient had pancreatic cancer when the information on them was recorded and, if so, which stage it was in.
1. Demographic information, e.g. age, sex, ethnicity, BMI, et cetera.
2. Medical history, e.g. family history of pancreatic cancer, pre-existing conditions like diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, or obesity, et cetera.
3. Lifestyle factors, e.g. diet, exercise levels, smoking, alcohol consumption, et cetera.
4. Laboratory results, e.g. blood glucose levels, liver function tests, tumour markers, et cetera.
5. Signs and symptoms, e.g. jaundice, weight loss, abdominal pain, steatorrhoea, et cetera.
6. Imaging results: data from scans, e.g. CT, MRI, ultrasound, et cetera.
7. Vital signs: blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, et cetera.
Please tell me if NHS England holds such information. If so, please tell me if this information is publicly available online (and, if so, where), or else provide the information in your response. If you provide the information in your response, please provide it in one or more spreadsheet files. Doing so will make it easier to examine the information.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Yours sincerely,
Leo Pritchard.
