Distinct Linkage Projects (DLPs) • Potential to link to health and social services data for specially defined one-off studies; so far successfully linked to: • Breast Screening • Dental Activity • Prescribing • Legal and ethical scrutiny and privacy protection protocols • Database Linkage & Encryption Methodology

NILS-EPD Distinct Linkage Project Study Aims • Identify current antibiotic prescribing patterns by demographic & area characteristics. • Inform health policy & health research on management of antibiotics prescribing. Study Design • NILS members linked toantibiotic prescription data held on EPD, based on the 12 months ending May 2010 • Relationship between antibiotic prescriptions (incl. number of prescription items received) and: • individual demographic & socio-economic characteristics • area attributes • indicator for high (70% and over) and low coverage rates for scanned prescriptions • Descriptive analysis to look at patterns of prescription & regression analysis to test the relative importance of variables on usage.
Prelim results: Descriptive Analysis – Population DistributionPrescriptions by Sex & Age
Prelim results: Multinomial Logistic Regression – Relative RisksDemographic Factors: Age & Sex
Prelim results: Multinomial Logistic Regression – Relative Risks Demographic Factors: Community Background & Marital StatusModels adjusted for Age & Sex
Prelim results:Multinomial Logistic Regression – Relative RisksSocio-Economic Factors: Education & Tenure/Capital ValueModels adjusted for Age & Sex
Preliminary analysis only! Next steps for analysis: more risk factors – variables to include family structure, self-reported health, socio-economic status (NSSEC and employment activity) comparison of high and low scan rates further analysis on impact of sex and older age groups area based analysis – settlement band, deprivation, sub-region establish optimal regression models establish optimal frequencies for antibiotic item groupings Desk research: over-prescribing & antimicrobial resistance lit. review Dissemination activities Next Steps
