The programme, which runs from March 2021 to March 2025, is bringing together patient data from different sources, collected in various ways (some for the first time) to answer important questions about muscle and joint conditions. This work will address the problems of missing health information, data in formats that are difficult to analyse, or which are stored separately, meaning that researchers can tackle new types of research questions. Data will be obtained directly from patients and professionals, from hospital and GP records and from adult social care services.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>On this page:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#about\">About the project<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#study\">Study results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ppie\">Patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#workstreams\">Project workstreams and work packages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#team\">Meet the team<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#optout\">Opting out: Your data for research: your choice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#contact\">Contact us<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;3.17.6&#8243; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;About Jigsaw&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.17.6&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"about\">About the project<\/h1>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/82vfqickN4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen title=\"What is the Data Jigsaw?\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The problem<\/h2>\n<p>Arthritis and other muscle and joint conditions are a leading cause of disability and have a major impact on the quality of people\u2019s lives. Unfortunately, the amount and quality of information collected from patients living with muscle and joint conditions is sometimes limited. This makes it hard for doctors and researchers to improve understanding and treatments for muscle and joint conditions, compared to some other health conditions. This can be because information is just never recorded within the NHS (such as people\u2019s experiences of living with disease), or because information is not recorded in a way that be accessed or analysed by researchers.<\/p>\n<h2>How we are trying to address this problem<\/h2>\n<p>In the <em>Data Jigsaw<\/em> we will join together different sources of patient data, collected in various ways, to answer important questions about muscle and joint conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The project will be run in Salford, Greater Manchester where hospital and GP records are already joined up for personal care. We will be analysing information taken from hospital, GP and adult social care records including information extracted by computers from rheumatology outpatient clinic letters . \u00a0To answer particular research questions, we will join some hospital data with some GP data and also join some adult social care data with either hospital or GP data. In addition, we will be collecting information directly from patients and joining it with some of their hospital data. We will also be exploring ways for healthcare staff to better record information that can both improve care as well as be used for research.<\/p>\n<h2>Keeping your data safe<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TGf4ymZuoSs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen title=\"The Data Jigsaw: Secure Data Environments\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are committed to the highest standards of data protection, using the safest, most secure ways to allow researchers access to the data.<\/p>\n<p>The information we use is directly relevant to the research we are conducting.\u00a0 Personal information such as name, address, and date of birth is always removed from information before the researcher can access it.

The UK has a long average delay of ten years between first symptoms appearing and a diagnosis being given. AxSpA significantly impacts on quality of life and ability to function, and this delay in diagnoses and treatment can result in irreversible damage. Finding ways to diagnose axSpA earlier is therefore a high priority.<\/p>\n<p>Using&nbsp;data taken from patients\u2019 GP records we will work with a company, IQVIA*, to develop a set of instructions (also known as an algorithm) that will predict if a patient will be diagnosed with axSpA, at the hospital rheumatology clinic, given their pattern of GP visits. As part of this work, some information from patients\u2019 GP and hospital records will be linked to develop the algorithm and to see if the predictions are true. If the algorithm is found to work effectively, it could be used in the future to identify patients with potentially undiagnosed axSpA in GP surgeries, who could then be referred earlier to the hospital clinic where a diagnosis of axSpA could be considered by a rheumatologist.<\/p>\n<p>*IQVIA is a private company experienced in working with patient healthcare data to support earlier diagnoses of disease.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Work package 1.3: Safety and effectiveness of pain relieving medications&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.17.6&#8243; use_background_color_gradient=&#8221;off&#8221; background_color_gradient_start=&#8221;#2b87da&#8221; background_color_gradient_end=&#8221;#29c4a9&#8243; background_color_gradient_type=&#8221;linear&#8221; background_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;180deg&#8221; background_color_gradient_direction_radial=&#8221;center&#8221; background_color_gradient_start_position=&#8221;0%&#8221; background_color_gradient_end_position=&#8221;100%&#8221; background_color_gradient_overlays_image=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;on&#8221; background_size=&#8221;cover&#8221; background_position=&#8221;center&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; background_blend=&#8221;normal&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We are looking at the use of pain relieving medication such as tramadol in people with muscle and joint conditions and other conditions (except for cancer).
