SIDIAP Dynamics

SIDIAP data are updated every six months. For quality and volume reasons, data are generated twice a year, at the end of the year and at the middle of the calendar year. All tables always include:
  • The pseudo-anonymised id of the patient.
  • The corresponding Code of the variable, drug, diagnosis, ...
  • The complete registration date
To these data, to all the dimensions, it is also possible to add data on the place where the information is recorded (type of professional, unit doing the registration, ...), ensuring confidentiality and encrypting the necessary sensitive data.

All Codes include the Description, and in the case of categorical variables, their meaning. These data are specified and detailed in the catalogue delivered with the projects.
In addition, all the tables incorporate a grouper (AGR) that relates different codes under a single hashtag, defined by the research team or using the groupings already existing in the SIDIAP that were used in previous research projects.

The SIDIAP data originate from, among other sources, the shared Electronic Health Record (EHR).
The data reflected here are currently in the circuit and already worked on, but the fact that they are not here does not mean that they cannot be included in the near future or when there is a need by means of a request.

  • COVID-Monitoring Form

    COVID-19 follow-up form for PC professionals.
    The variables that are collected, among many others, are:
    • Symptomatology (e.g.: alteration of taste, cyanosis, diarrhoea, ...)
    • The presence or absence of previous diseases
    • O2 saturation
    • Temperature
    • Heart rate
    • Isolation conditions
    • Close monitoring of the patient
