Secondary analyses of HSE data and linked health outcomes - an overview of work in progress
Dr Jennifer Mindell,

Linked HSE mortality data (2008)
• In 2008, some mortality data provided by ONS:oHSE 1994 – 2004oDeaths to March 2008
• Will not be archived or publicised until regular updates organised
• Released to a few named researchers by NatCen after detailed review by their Data Release Panel
Published studies include:
Hamer M, Ingle L, Carroll S, Stamatakis E.
Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Mortality Risk: Possible Protective Mechanisms?
Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2011 Jun 8. [Epub ahead of print]
o HSE + SHeS datao average follow up 7.0y ± 3.1yo 446 deaths (213 CVD)

Hamer M, Batty GD, Stamatakis E, Kivimaki M.
J Hypertens. 2010;28(12):2401-6.• HSE data• Hypertension has a stronger association with
total and CVD mortality in people with a GHQ-12 score of ≥ 4
Linked HSE mortality data (2011)
• NatCen has just received the latest update of Mortality records from ONS, though some delay in IC implementing new procedures that will increase automated matching
• Some data will / may / probably be archived later in 2011
• More detailed data may be available from NatCen via their Data Release Panel
HSE linked Hospital Episodes Statistics
• NatCen is in discussion with the NHS Information Centre about HES data:o what we can haveo how we will link thiso what we can or can't do with the data etc
• What will be available on the archive, what will be available from NatCen, what won’t be available - still being negotiated
Linkage of multiple databases
Hamer M, Stamatakis E. Physical activity and mortality in men and women with diagnosed cardiovascular disease. Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil. 2009;16(2):156-60.
• Scottish Health Surveys (1995, 1998, 2003) • Linked to patient-based database of CVD hospital
admissions and deaths o 837 adults with clinically confirmed CVD at baselineo 175 diedo follow-up average 5.6y +/-3.1y
Linkage of multiple databases
• Men and women with existing CVD who participate in moderate-to-vigorous activity for at least 20 min pw showed the lowest risks of all-cause mortality:o fully adjusted hazard ratio=0.32 (95% CI 0.16-0.65) for sporto fully adjusted hazard ratio=0.74 (0.53-1.04) for walking
• Similar associations observed for CVD mortality. • The physically active also showed
o ↓inflammatory risk markers o ↑ HDL cholesterol.
Cancer data
• Cancer mortality• Incident cancer

How do I access HSE mortality data?
• If people are interested in accessing this data they should contact Susan Nunn, the HSE Data Manager ([email protected]) who will oversee their application process.
• The application would ordinarily be:o reviewed by NatCen’s internal Data Release Panel,o probably by the NHS Information Centre o - and quite possibly ONS too.
