An introduction to the NDRS 30-day mortality post-SACT outputs

The systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) data set team at the National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) release two routine 30-day mortality post-SACT data feeds to support NHS trusts in England with their internal mortality and morbidity (M&M) reviews.

This online event was delivered on Thursday September 14, 2023. During the session the SACT data set team provided detailed information on the data feeds which will included

• guidance on how to access and review the data
• examples of how it can support NHS trusts with their M&M reviews
• schedules for when the data will be shared and details of the recipients

Please note that one of the outputs discussed within this webinar is available to NHS staff only (Rapid Data Review reports); the second is available to the public (Case Mix Adjusted Rates).

The team delivered a number of lunchtime webinars covering a range of NDRS activities, including a closer look at some of the datasets, our work on congenital anomalies and rare diseases and highlighting recent partnership projects.

The 6 sessions were:

• an introduction to the national congenital anomaly data for England 
• breakthroughs in Sarcoma cancer data: Implications for patient care
• supporting Lynch syndrome diagnosis and screening using NDRS data
• a deeper dive into the SACT data set
• how NDRS are working with data to reduce health inequalities
• successes and challenges for rare disease registration in relation to non-genetic rare diseases, and how data is being used to produce actionable outputs

All webinars were recorded and are available from our webinars page.
