Cafodd yr Archwiliad Cenedlaethol ar Glefyd Cronig yr Arennau (CKD) ei gyflwyno yng Nghymru a Lloegr yn 2015-2016 er mwyn adolygu鈥檙 gwahaniaethau rhwng gofal cleifion o ran adnabod a rheoli cleifion mewn gofal sylfaenol sydd 芒 chlefyd cronig yr arennau. Fe ddatblygodd y t卯m archwilio offer gwella safonau a gafodd eu gosod o fewn meddalwedd Informatica, gan ganiat谩u proses well i adnabod cleifion, a dull rheoli wedi鈥檌 dargedu鈥檔 well ar gyfer y rheiny sydd mewn perygl. Daeth y gwaith o gasglu鈥檙 data gofal sylfaenol i ben yn 2016.
Mae Data鈥檙 Archwiliad CKD Cenedlaethol yn cael ei ddefnyddio yn awr ar gyfer ymchwil pellach ar agweddau ar reoli gofal sylfaenol sy鈥檔 gwella canlyniadau hirdymor cleifion sydd 芒 chlefyd yn yr arennau, neu sydd mewn perygl o鈥檌 gael.
Mae Ysgol Hylendid a Meddygaeth Drofannol Llundain (LSHTM) yn cadw data o鈥檙 Archwiliad wedi ei ffug-anhysbysu er mwyn ei ddadansoddi. Mae hyn yn golygu nad oes unrhyw wybodaeth unigol (fel enwau, rhifau GIG neu gyfeiriadau) allai arwain at gyswllt uniongyrchol rhwng enw person a鈥檙 wybodaeth iechyd sydd wedi鈥檌 gadw yn eu set data. Yn hytrach, mae gan bob cofnod ddynodwr-astudiaeth LSHTM (ffug-adnabyddwr) wedi鈥檌 atodi. Mae鈥檙 wybodaeth am rifau GIG ac unrhyw fanylion ffug cyfatebol yn cael eu cadw ar wah芒n yng Ngholeg Prifysgol Llundain (UCL) ar weinydd hynod ddiogel.
Bydd Data鈥檙 Archwiliad CKD Cenedlaethol yn cael eu cysylltu 芒 gwybodaeth sy鈥檔 cael ei chadw yng Nghofrestrfa Arennol y DG ac 芒 data am glefyd y galon sy鈥檔 cael ei gadw yn y Sefydliad Cenedlaethol Canlyniadau Ymchwil Cardiofasgwlaidd. Bydd hyn yn caniat谩u dilyn canlyniadau hirdymor cleifion dros y pum mlynedd nesaf. Bydd y cysylltiad yma yn digwydd drwy anfon y ffeil gyda rhifau鈥檙 GIG a鈥檙 manylion ffug-adnabod cyfatebol o鈥檙 UCL at GIG digidol, Gwasanaeth Gwybodeg GIG Cymru a Sefydliad Cenedlaethol Canlyniadau Ymchwil Cardiofasgwlaidd fydd wedyn yn anfon y data clinigol gyda鈥檙 adnabyddwyr ffug n么l at Ysgol Hylendid a Meddygaeth Drofannol Llundain. Mae鈥檙 dull yma鈥檔 sicrhau na fydd unrhyw ddata clinigol sy鈥檔 cynnwys gwybodaeth bersonol preifat yn cael ei rannu. O fewn Ysgol Hylendid a Meddygaeth Drofannol Llundain, bydd data clinigol sydd wedi鈥檌 ffug-anhysbysu yn cael ei ddadansoddi gan ystadegwyr cymwys ac epidemiolegwyr 鈥 bydd rhaid i unrhyw ddadansoddiad gael ei gymeradwyo gan gr诺p llywio Archwiliad Cenedlaethol ar Glefyd Cronig yr Arennau a phwyllgor moeseg LSHTM.
Mae鈥檙 Archwiliad nawr wedi rhoi鈥檙 gorau i ddethol gwybodaeth oddi wrth bractisau gofal sylfaenol fu鈥檔 cymryd rhan yn y dasg. Serch hynny, mae鈥檙 data gafodd ei gasglu nawr yn cael ei ddefnyddio i benderfynu canlyniadau hir-dymor y sawl fu鈥檔 cymryd rhan yn yr archwiliad.

The National CKD Audit was implemented in England and Wales in 2015-2016 to review variation in patient care with regards to the identification and management of patients with chronic kidney disease in primary care. The Audit team developed quality improvement tools which were embedded in the Informatica software, allowing improved patient identification and more targeted management of those at risk. The collection of primary care data was discontinued in 2016.
The National CKD Audit Data are now used for further research on which aspects of primary care management improve long-term patient outcomes of patients at risk of or with kidney disease.
Pseudonymised clinical data from the Audit are held for analysis at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical medicine. Pseudonymisation means that there are no personal identification (such as names, NHS-numbers or addresses) which allow a direct link between a person鈥檚 name and their health information held in this clinical dataset, instead each records has an LSHTM study-id (pseudo-identifier) attached. A study-id is a unique number added to an individual鈥檚 record for use in the study. The information on NHS numbers and corresponding study-id (pseudo-identifiers) are held separately at UCL in a super-secure server.
The National CKD Audit Data will be linked to information held at the and to data on heart disease held at the . This will allow tracking the long-term outcomes of patients over the next 10 years. This linkage will be carried out by sending the file with NHS numbers and corresponding pseudo-identifiers from UCL to NHS digital, NHS Wales Informatics Service, the UK Renal Registry and National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research who will then send clinical data with pseudo identifiers back to the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
The audit has now stopped extracting information from participating primary care practices. However, the data that have been collected are being used to determine long-term outcomes of audit participants.
If you are considering requesting that yourdata not be used for this or any other audit it is recommended that you discuss this with your local GP. If you then decide that you wish to 'opt-out' of the audit you will need to ask your GP to mark your local record as opted out. Then no further data will be shared with us, or any other national audit, but data already collected will still be processed though no future data will be collected. If you wish for your data to be erased from the National CKD Audit, you can contact Dr Spiros Denaxas (s.denaxas@ucl.ac.uk) with your NHS number. He will then remove your record from the database and inform the team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine which study-id needs to be removed from the clinical database.
- How do we collect data?
-
Data was collected using Informatica's National CKD Audit software which is provided free of charge to participating practices. The software was delivered by a short remote installation process. The National CKD Audit solution automatically integrated with the GP clinical system to collect primary care data. Each GP Practice was identified as an individual entity, giving greater visibility of CKD care at a practice or at a local level.
The audit process ran each night and compiled a full audit for each GP practice. This information can be accessed and used within the practice and it was transmitted back to a secure central data warehouse on the NHS N3 network on two occasions.
- Sut ydyn ni鈥檔 casglu data?
-
Cafodd y data鈥檌 gasglu drwy ddefnyddio meddalwedd Informatica yr Archwiliad CKD Cenedlaethol, sy鈥檔 cael ei ddarparu am ddim i鈥檙 practisau sy鈥檔 cymryd rhan. Cafodd y meddalwedd ei osod drwy broses osod fer o bell. Fe gyfunodd datrysiad yr Archwiliad CKD Cenedlaethol yn awtomatig 芒 system glinigol meddygon teulu er mwyn casglu鈥檙 data gofal sylfaenol. Roedd pob practis meddyg teulu yn cael ei adnabod fel endid unigol, gan roi darlun gwell o鈥檙 gofal CKD ar lefel leol neu o fewn practis.
Roedd proses yr archwiliad yn cael ei redeg bob nos ac roedd yn creu archwiliad llawn ar gyfer pob practis meddyg teulu. Gellir cael mynediad at y wybodaeth hon, a鈥檌 defnyddio, o fewn y practis ac, ar ddau achlysur, cafodd ei hanfon yn 么l i warws data canolog, diogel ar rwydwaith N3 y GIG.
- What information is collected?
-
From the GP Primary Care clinical system, the National CKD Audit has collected a patient鈥檚:
- NHS number, age, sex, ethnicity, post-code (to calculate Index of Multiple Deprivation [IMD])
- risk factors and relevant comorbidities for CKD in those who should be tested (cardiovascular disease, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, obesity, gout, underlying kidney disease, osteoporosis, anaemia, cancer, systemic disease, dementia, mental health problems)
- medications (anti-hypertensive drugs in different drug classes, statins, nephrotoxic drugs, aspirin, warfarin, diabetes medication) with prescription dates from GP records
- laboratory tests and results
- listing on existing registers like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and atrial fibrillation.
We also collected a wide range of social indicators which are used to audit the equity of care. Most data will be routinely available data such as the hospital episode data from England and Wales, Death data, or data from other clinical audits and/or extracted from GP practice clinical systems.
To find out more about the type of data that is collected, please download the . For further information on the basis by which audit measures have been calculated please see the .
The full list of READ codes is found .
Datasets are then linked to Hospital Episode statistics from England (HES, from NHS digital), and Wales (Patient Episode Data Wales from NHS Wales Informatics Service), death data held at the Office of National Statistics data, the UK renal Registry and NICOR (for cardiovascular outcomes). To do this, we use the patient identifiable data (NHS number) and study pseudo-identifiers which allow linkage to clinical information held at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Personal data will be retained until 2027, after which they will be deleted unless further ethics approval is granted.
The programme has obtained Section 60 /Section 251 Health and Social Care Act / NHS Act approval from the Confidentiality Advisory Group of the Health Research Authority, which is particularly interested in the data linkages with other databases. Data were extracted after the audit was commissioned by NHS England and the Welsh Government to investigate the standard and variation of care of people with kidney disease in primary care, and the audit has therefore lawful basis under Article 6 (1) (e) and Article 9 (2) (j) under the General Data Protection Regulation.
Once that linkage is achieved, data which can be used to identify patients, such as patient NHS numbers, is blocked (using an SHA256 hash function algorithm). The resulting pseudonymised data set held at LSHTM for further analysis.
If you are considering requesting that your data not be used for this audit it is recommended that you discuss this with your local GP. Please also check the information on opt out on the . If you then decide that you wish to 'opt-out' of the audit you will need to ask your GP to mark your local record as opted out. Then no further data will be shared with us, or any other national audit. If you wish for your data to be erased from the National CKD Audit, you can contact Dr Spiros Denaxas (s.denaxas@ucl.ac.uk) with your NHS number. He will then remove your record from the database and inform the team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine which study-id needs to be removed from the clinical database.
The National CKD Audit was commissioned by HQIP on behalf of NHS England's National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcome Programme (). It is recognised that the data collected under NCAPOP is a valuable resource that should be made available to appropriate related healthcare organisations.
Requests for data access must be made using the HQIP available on their website, and advice on how to do this can be obtained from the Steering committee of the database.
Depending on the types of data required, further data sharing requests and approvals need to be obtained from the UK Renal Registry and NICOR.

Hanes
Cafodd yr Archwiliad Cenedlaethol ar Glefyd Cronig yr Arennau (CKD ei gomisiynu gan y Bartneriaeth Gwella Safon Gofal Iechyd, a鈥檌 gyllido gan Wasanaeth Iechyd Gyhoeddus Lloegr; fel rhan o鈥檙 Archwiliad Clinigol Cenedlaethol a鈥檙 Rhaglen Canlyniadau Cleifion (NCAPOP); a Llywodraeth Cymru.
Roedd y cynllun pwysig tair blynedd yma yn canolbwyntio ar adnabod a rheoli pobl sydd 芒 CKD (Clefyd cronig yr aren) o fewn y system ofal sylfaenol er mwyn:
- Gwella鈥檙 dasg o adnabod cleifion sydd 芒 CKD o fewn y system ofal sylfaenol
- Gwella rheolaeth a chanlyniadau cleifion CKD
- Teilwra gofal pobl sydd 芒 CKD o fewn llwybrau gofal lleol.
Fe gasglodd a dadansoddodd yr Archwiliad CKD Cenedlaethol ddata a chynhyrchu adroddiadau ar gyfer practisau, i Grwpiau Comisiynu Clinigol/Byrddau Iechyd Lleol, yn ogystal ag adroddiadau cenedlaethol sydd ar gael i鈥檙 cyhoedd. Hefyd, fe ddarparodd offer gwella safonau y gallai meddygon teulu ddymuno defnyddio i helpu rheoli pobl sydd 芒 CKD.

The was commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP), and funded by NHS England; as part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (); and the Welsh Government.
This important focused on the identification and management of people with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) in primary care to:
- Improve the identification of CKD patients in primary care
- Improve the management and outcomes of CKD patients
- Tailor the care of people with CKD to local care pathways.
The National CKD Audit collected and analysed data and produced reports for practices, CCGs/LHBs, as well as a publicly available national reports. It also provided Quality Improvement Tools which GPs may wish to use to help manage people with CKD.
The Audit was delivered by Informatica (initially part of the BMJ) working with , LSHTM, Clinical Effectiveness Group QMUL, with input from the Patient Liaison Group. Clinicians and people with CKD were actively encouraged to participate in the audit to drive changes and improve the quality of services and health outcomes for people with CKD in England and Wales.
"From my point of view, as a kidney doctor for over 25 years, one of the most enduring themes has been encountering missed opportunities to identify kidney disease early, therefore not being able to prevent its complications or enable the planning of future care in partnership with patients."

Mae鈥檙 Archwiliad Cenedlaethol ar Glefyd Cronig yr Arennau yn canolbwyntio ar adnabod a rheoli pobl sydd a chlefyd cronig yn yr arennau (CKD) mewn gofal sylfaenol.
Archwiliad
Mae archwiliad yn weithgaredd wedi鈥檌 gynllunio a鈥檌 ddogfenu er mwyn penderfynu dichonolrwydd a chydymffurfiaeth gweithdrefnau sefydledig, ac effeithiolrwydd eu gweithredu. Caiff archwiliad ei gynnal gan staff cymwys sy鈥檔 asesu tystiolaeth wrthrychol am sut y caiff gweithdrefnau eu dilyn, er enghraifft drwy ddefnyddio dogfennau am ddull penodol.Mae Archwiliad Cenedlaethol Clefyd Cronig yr Arennau yn bwriadu ymchwilio pa mor gyffredin yw CKD a darganfod os oes modd gwella rheolaeth CKD drwy wella diagnosis yng nghyfnod cynnar y clefyd.
Clefyd Cronig yr Arennau (CKD)
Mae CKD yn golygu bod clefyd yn eich arennau neu eu bod wedi鈥檜 niweidio rywsut, neu yn heneiddio. O ganlyniad, nid yw eich arennau yn gweithio cystal ag oedden nhw. Felly, ceir effaith ar swyddogaethau amrywiol yr arennau. Gall amrywiaeth eang o gyflyrau achosi CKD.
Mae cronig yn golygu parhaol neu hirdymor. Nid yw鈥檔 golygu difrifol, fel mae rhai pobl yn ei feddwl. Gellir dioddef o ffurf ysgafn o glefyd cronig. Mae gan sawl un ffurf ysgafn o CKD.
Gellir disgrifio CKD weithiau fel methiant arennol cronig.
Ffug-anhysbysu
Disgrifir ffug-anhysbysu gan y GIG fel a ganlyn:
鈥測 broses dechnegol o gyfnewid adnabyddwyr person mewn set data gyda gwerthoedd eraill (ffugenwau) sydd ar gael i鈥檙 defnyddiwr data, heb fod modd darganfod hunaniaeth unigolyn drwyddynt, drwy er enghraifft gyfnewid rhif GIG gyda rhif arall ar hap, cyfnewid enw gyda ch么d neu gyfnewid cyfeiriad gyda ch么d lleoliad. Ni ddylai ffugenw gynnwys unrhyw wybodaeth allai arwain at adnabod yr unigolyn perthnasol (ee ni ddylai gynnwys rhifau dyddiad geni, ayyb).鈥

Audit |
An audit is a planned and documented activity performed by qualified personnel to determine by investigation, examination, or evaluation of objective evidence, the adequacy and compliance with established procedures, or applicable documents, and the effectiveness of implementation. The National CKD Audit aims to investigate the prevalence of CKD and identify whether the management of CKD can be improved through better early stage diagnosis. |
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) |
CKD means that your kidneys are diseased or damaged in some way, or are ageing. As a result, your kidneys may not work as well as they used to. So, the various functions of the kidney can be affected. A whole range of conditions can cause CKD. Chronic means ongoing (persistent or long-term). It does not mean severe as some people think. You can have a mild chronic disease. Many people have mild CKD. CKD can sometimes be described as chronic renal failure. Further information can be found . |
Pseudoanonymisation |
Pseudoanonymisation is described by the NHS as: 鈥渢he technical process of replacing person identifiers in a dataset with other values (pseudonyms) available to the data user, from which the identities of individuals cannot be intrinsically inferred, for example replacing an NHS number with another random number, replacing a name with a code or replacing an address with a location code. Pseudonyms themselves should not contain any information that could identify the individual to which they relate (e.g. should not be made up of characters from the date of birth, etc.).鈥 |
