Feasibility trials using electronic health data from registries

This is data on the 15 feasibility trials found in a systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) accessing routinely collected health data (RCHD) in the UK. The systematic review, published in 2020¹, considered successful applications for RCHD (such as NHS Digital) detailed in publicly accessible release registers. The release registers were searched in January to May 2019 and data was extracted on every RCT receiving data between 2013 and 2018. This dataset comprises information on the 15 feasibility trials who received routine data during this period.
