Abstract

Purpose We have established the SAIL MELD-B electronic cohort (e-cohort SMC) and the SAIL MELD-B children and Young adults e-cohort (SMYC) as a part of the Multidisciplinary Ecosystem to study Lifecourse Determinants and Prevention of Early-onset Burdensome Multimorbidity (MELD-B) project. Each coho...

Each cohort has been created to investigate and develop a deeper understanding of the lived experience of the &#x2018;burdensomeness&#x2019; of multimorbidity by identifying new clusters of burdensomeness concepts, exploring early life risk factors of multimorbidity and modelling hypothetical prevention scenarios.Participants The SMC and SMYC are longitudinal e-cohorts created from routinely collected individual-level population-scale anonymised data sources available within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank. They include individuals with available records from linked health and demographic data sources in SAIL at any time between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2022. The SMYC e-cohort is a subset of the SMC, including only individuals born on or after the cohort start date.Findings to date The SMC and SMYC cohorts include 5 180 602 (50.3% female and 49.7% male) and 896 155 (48.7% female and 51.3% male) individuals, respectively. Considering both primary and secondary care health data, the five most common long-term conditions for individuals in SMC are &#x2018;Depression&#x2019;, affecting 21.6% of the cohort, &#x2018;Anxiety&#x2019; (21.1%), &#x2018;Asthma&#x2019; (17.5%), &#x2018;Hypertension&#x2019; (16.2%) and &#x2018;Atopic Eczema&#x2019; (14.1%) and the five most common conditions for individuals in SMYC are &#x2018;Atopic Eczema&#x2019; (21.2%), &#x2018;Asthma&#x2019; (11.6%), &#x2018;Anxiety&#x2019; (6.0%), &#x2018;Deafness&#x2019; (4.6%) and &#x2018;Depression&#x2019; (4.3%).Future plans The SMC and SMYC e-cohorts have been developed using a reproducible, maintainable concept curation pipeline, which allows for the cohorts to be updated dynamically over time and manages for the request and processing of further approved long-term conditions and burdensomeness concepts extraction. Best practices from the MELD-B project can be utilised across other projects, accessing similar data with population-scale data sources and trusted research environments.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>BMJ Open</journal><volume>15</volume><journalNumber>1</journalNumber><paginationStart>e087946</paginationStart><paginationEnd/><publisher>BMJ</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>2044-6055</issnPrint><issnElectronic>2044-6055</issnElectronic><keywords/><publishedDay>7</publishedDay><publishedMonth>1</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2025</publishedYear><publishedDate>2025-01-07</publishedDate><doi>10.1136/bmjopen-2024-087946</doi><url/><notes>Cohort Profile</notes><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Medical School</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>MEDS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm>SU Library paid the OA fee (TA Institutional Deal)</apcterm><funders>NIHR</funders><projectreference/><lastEdited>2025-01-20T12:52:29.4177128</lastEdited><Created>2024-11-27T13:06:39.8839569</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">Swansea University Medical School - Health Data Science</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Roberta</firstname><surname>Chiovoloni</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Jakub J</firstname><surname>Dylag</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Nisreen A</firstname><surname>Alwan</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Ann</firstname><surname>Berrington</surname><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Michael</firstname><surname>Boniface</surname><order>5</order></author><author><firstname>Nic</firstname><surname>Fair</surname><order>6</order></author><author><firstname>Emilia</firstname><surname>Holland</surname><order>7</order></author><author><firstname>Rebecca</firstname><surname>Hoyle</surname><orcid>0000-0002-1645-1071</orcid><order>8</order></author><author><firstname>Mozhdeh</firstname><surname>Shiranirad</surname><order>9</order></author><author><firstname>Sebastian</firstname><surname>Stannard</surname><orcid>0000-0002-6139-1020</orcid><order>10</order></author><author><firstname>Zlatko</firstname><surname>Zlatev</surname><order>11</order></author><author><firstname>Rhiannon K</firstname><surname>Owen</surname><order>12</order></author><author><firstname>Simon</firstname><surname>Fraser</surname><orcid>0000-0002-4172-4406</orcid><order>13</order></author><author><firstname>Ashley</firstname><surname>Akbari</surname><orcid>0000-0003-0814-0801</orcid><order>14</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>68352__33377__00d26dd2f2ce4318bdc84ea9fe9aa8b9.pdf</filename><originalFilename>68352.VoR.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2025-01-20T12:49:46.4139536</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>2071189</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>&#xA9; Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2025.
