PICANet Annual Report Appendices 2021 
A     Additional Information 
Background 
PICANet was established in 2002 with funding from the Department of Health and started collecting data 
from English and Welsh paediatric intensive care units in November 2002. The PICUs at the Royal Hospital 
for Sick Children, Edinburgh and the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow started submitting data in 
December 2004 and March 2007 respectively. The Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children joined in April 
2008 and Children's Health, Ireland, Crumlin and Children's Health, Ireland, Temple Street, both based in 
Dublin, have submitted anonymised data to PICANet since 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Harley Street 
Clinic PICU started contributing data in September 2010, and the PICU at the Portland Hospital from 
October 2013, allowing both these non-NHS units to compare their performance against the national 
benchmark provided by PICANet. The Harley Street Clinic PICU permanently closed in March 2020.  
A full list of participating PICUs can be found in Appendix B. 
Governance 
PICANet continues to receive support from the NHS Health Research Authority Confidentiality Advisory 
Group (NHS HRA CAG) (formerly the NIGB) to collect personally identifiable data without consent on 
infants and children admitted to paediatric intensive care. 
See https://www.hra.nhs.uk/planning-and-improving-research/application-summaries/confidentiality-advisory-group-registers/ 
Ethics approval has been granted by the Trent Medical Research Ethics Committee, ref. 18/EM/0267. 
PICANet supports transparency in its data processing and has patient information sheets and posters on 
display in PICUs and issues a Privacy Notice and Fair Processing Statement on its website outlining the 
legal basis for processing of data under the General Data Protection Regulations (May 2018). Details can 
be found at https://www.picanet.org.uk/. 
PICANet receives support and advice from a Clinical Advisory Group (CAG) drawing on the expertise of 
doctors and nurses working within the speciality and a Steering Group (SG), whose membership includes 
Health Services Researchers, representatives from the Royal Colleges of Paediatrics and Child Health, 
Nursing and Anaesthetics, a lay member and commissioners. Appendices C and D provide a full list of CAG 
and SG members. Additional support from the clinical community is provided through the UK Paediatric 
Intensive Care Society. 
Commissioning 
The following organisations commission paediatric intensive care in the UK: 
▪ 
England: NHS England Specialised Services  
▪ 
Wales: Welsh Health Specialised Service Committee (WHSSC) 
▪ 
Scotland: National Services Division of NHS National Services Scotland 
▪ 
Northern Ireland: Health and Social Care Board 
In the Republic of Ireland, Children’s Health Ireland, Crumlin and Children’s Health Ireland, Temple Street 
are both voluntary hospitals, funded by the Health Service Executive.

PICANet Annual Report Appendices 2021 
Methods 
Basic methodology 
Most critically ill children who need complex clinical care and life support are treated in Paediatric 
Intensive Care Units (PICUs). These children may have had complex surgery, an accident or a severe 
infection and may arrive in the PICU from an operating theatre, emergency department or from a hospital 
ward. In some cases they may have been transferred from another hospital and, rarely, admitted directly 
from home. 
PICANet is an audit that collects personal, organisational and clinical data on all children with a clinically 
determined need for paediatric intensive care in the UK and Ireland, to compare outcomes and activity 
between PICUs and specialist transport organisations and also between health regions and nations. 
Data are stored on a secure database. Each organisation is able to view and download their own data and 
reports on their data quality and activity as well as comparative national data. An annual report is 
produced each autumn that includes a summary of what has happened to children admitted to PICU 
including why they were admitted, where they were admitted from, how long they stayed, what 
treatments they received and their outcome at the time of discharge. Comparisons between PICUs are 
made to assess how well they perform against established clinical standards and guidelines. 
In addition to the annual report, PICANet provides technical and statistical support for the use of its data 
for local audit and research, regional and national commissioning, national and international research and 
to provide baseline information for clinical intervention trials. 
Participating organisations and data submission 
PICANet has collected data from all PICUs in England and Wales since 2002. The two PICUs in Scotland, 
one from Northern Ireland and two from the Republic of Ireland, along with two non-NHS units based in 
London have joined PICANet at different times so that coverage is now for the whole of the UK and the 
Republic of Ireland. During the reporting period there were 32 PICUs and 12 specialist transport 
organisations submitting data to PICANet.  
Data are submitted by individual PICUs prospectively, using our secure web-based data collection 
application with real-time online validation reporting, systematic monthly validation review by our 
research nurse and regular on-site validation visits. Data submission can involve direct entry of patient 
data or an upload of a data file from an existing clinical information system. PICANet provides full 
documentation on data definitions, which have been developed in collaboration with our Clinical Advisory 
Group, as well as technical specifications for IT and database professionals. In addition, standardised data 
collection forms are supplied to all organisations where there is no in-house provision for data collection. 
Data collected 
PICANet collects three core datasets: 
Admission data contains demographic details of each child including their name*, date of birth**, 
NHS/CHI number, address* and ethnic group; it also records where children are admitted from, their date 
of admission and clinical diagnoses, some physiological parameters on admission including blood gases, 
blood pressure, medical history and ventilation status. Data on outcome and discharge details are 
included. The medical interventions received on each day by each child are recorded as part of the audit 
and to help NHS organisations in England to supply information on the cost of their activity. 
Referral data for all children where clinicians agree a paediatric intensive care bed and/or paediatric 
intensive care transport is required includes details of the referring hospital, demographic details of the 
child, grade of the referring doctor or nurse, the outcome of the referral, the transport team involved and 
the destination PICU. 
Transport data for all children transported to a PICU from their original admitting hospital or who are 
transported by a specialist PIC transport service but are not admitted to a PICU includes patient details as

PICANet Annual Report Appendices 2021 
well as information about their presenting physiology. Details of the composition of the transport team, 
journey times, any interventions carried out and critical incidents are also recorded. 
Additional data collection takes place to understand more about staffing on PICU: 
Staffing data are collected each year in November to monitor staffing levels within PICUs as well as the 
PICS standards relating to staffing requirements. 
* Not collected for data from Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland 
** Limited to month and year for Northern Ireland 
Analytical techniques 
Statistical techniques used include simple cross tabulations, the calculation of crude and risk-adjusted 
SMRs and 95% confidence intervals; the construction of crude and risk-adjusted funnel plots of SMRs; and 
local provision of Risk Adjusted Resetting Sequential Probability Ratio Test (RA-RSPRT) plots to assess real-
time performance related to in-PICU mortality. Risk-adjusted SMRs were calculated using the latest 
version of the Paediatric Index of Mortality (PIM3)1 recalibrated based on data within the current 
reporting period. 
Assessing case ascertainment, data quality and validation 
PICANet Web allows PICU staff to obtain reports on their own data to check monthly admissions totals. In 
addition, during validation visits by the PICANet research nurse a cross check is carried out against records 
held on PICU (such as admission books, or in-house data collection systems) and PICANet Web. These 
checks allow us to assess case ascertainment and the on-site validation visits are a core element of our 
data quality assurance process. PICANet were unable to carry out validation visit in 2020 due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic. 
Data are validated online via PICANet Web using logic and range checks as well as flagging missing data 
items. The Modulus 11 algorithm is used to validate the NHS number based on a check digit – this is a 
standard method of ensuring the NHS number is a true NHS number and improves our ability to trace 
patients through the PICANet database and in linked healthcare data. 
Collaborative working supporting policy, commissioning, research and 
clinical trials 
PICANet has become established as the definitive source of data on paediatric intensive care activity in 
the UK and Ireland. Its data have been used to plan PIC services, model demand, assess interventions and 
outcomes and provide data to underpin research to facilitate the development of new standards for 
critical care provision for children. PICANet has provided baseline data for the development of the IKID, 
SANDWICH and FEVER trials, all of which have been funded and will make use of the routinely collected 
PICANet data using the custom data download facility. This allows local control over the data. We are also 
working closely with a number of other funded studies, including DEPICT, FIRST-ABC, GIRFT, LAUNCHES-
QI, Neuro-PACK, OCEANIC, OXY-PICU, PERMIT, and PICNIC. PICANet have also supported the NHS 
response to the pandemic by providing key data to inform the modelling of bed occupancy rates. 
Small number policy 
Publication of PICANet data is subject to scrutiny of small numbers. When small numbers of admissions 
are involved, other data items may become identifiable i.e. a living individual may be identified from the 
 
1 Straney, L., et al., Paediatric Index of Mortality 3: An Updated Model for Predicting Mortality in Pediatric Intensive Care. 
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2013. 14(7): p. 673-681. 
 
 
 

 
5 
PICANet Annual Report Appendices 2021 
data. This is still the case in aggregated data where small groups of individuals are presented. These are 
reviewed and in some cases, categories are combined or cells anonymised where necessary. 
Outlier policy 
When unusual performance is detected following routine or bespoke analysis, which suggests that a PICU 
is an outlier, PICANet follow the established procedure outlined in our outlier policy, which relates 
specifically to assessment of risk-adjusted mortality. 
Historically there have been three specific occasions where PICUs have been identified as outliers with 
excess risk-adjusted mortality throughout the reporting period. In two of these cases this was attributable 
to data quality issues and when corrected, the outliers fell within normal limits. In one case this was not 
attributable to data quality and resulted in internal and external reviews. 
Links with the clinical community, patients and their families 
PICANet has until recently had an active PICU Families Group comprising both Lay representatives 
(parents of children who are currently or have previously received paediatric intensive care) and a 
multidisciplinary group of health professionals including Family Liaison Sisters, critical care nurses, audit 
staff, PIC consultants and members of the PICANet team. Availability of Lay representatives has become 
difficult over recent years and so we are developing a Lay stakeholder group encompassing any PIC or 
disease specific support group that deals with parent or child PIC related issues to feed into the future 
development of PICANet. In addition, we have a standing lay representative on our Steering Group and 
work closely with the charity Well Child. To date, all communications we have had from patients/parents 
have been very positive, supporting PICANet and its work and requesting further information. 
PICANet has the support of the Paediatric Intensive Care Society and the associated PICS Study Group, the 
PICANet Clinical Advisory Group and the Clinical Reference group which oversees Paediatric Critical Care 
and PCC transport.

J  PICANet Privacy and Fair Processing Statement  
 
PICANet Patient Privacy Notice and Fair Processing Statement. 
 
This statement explains how we use any personal information we collect about you (child / young 
person) or the child you care for 
What data are being collected? 
PICANet collects data on every child and young person referred or admitted to a Paediatric Intensive 
Care Unit (PICU) in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The data are sent to us over a very secure web 
application by each PICU or specialist transport team on a regular basis.  Data are collected for each 
individual for the whole period of their PICU stay and also about what happened to them if they had a 
critical care transport (this means a specialist team of nurses and doctors travelled in an ambulance to 
pick them up and take them to a PICU).  
PICANet has permission to also collect personal identifiers of children or young people admitted to or 
referred for Paediatric Intensive Care without taking explicit (written) consent from the children or their 
carers. This was granted by the NHS Health Research Authority Confidentiality Advisory Group. A 
summary of the entry for PICANet is available on the register of approvals on the HRA website (the 
references are: 21/CAG/0090 (non-research) and 21/CAG/0098 (research)). The personal identifiers 
include name, address, date of birth and health record identifier number (e.g. NHS number)*.  
* We don’t receive name, address or health record identifier number for data from Northern Ireland or 
the Republic of Ireland. 
What are the data being used for? 
We collect this data for clinical audit, research and service evaluation and planning to improve the care 
given to children and young people admitted to PICU.  Each year we produce a report on activity and 
outcomes for paediatric intensive care in the UK and Ireland. No personal information will ever be made 
public in any report or publication. 
Where are the data held and for how long? 
All of the data is held at the University of Leeds in a highly secure environment.  As we are an audit, we 
keep this data permanently so we can check on what has happened in the past.  We do remove personal 
identifiers from our data base once an individual is older than 18 years and has not been in PICU for 
the last five years. 
Sharing data with other organisations 
PICANet may share data held on its database with researchers, other audits or other healthcare 
providers in order to help improve patient care.  We will NOT share personal identifiers (such as name, 
address, date of birth or NHS number) with anyone else unless the appropriate legal, ethical and 
security arrangements are in place to keep your personal details safe and secure. Very occasionally, 
personal data may be processed by an authorised third party such as NHS Digital, again, only with the 
necessary regulatory permissions.  They have very high levels of security and will keep these data very 
safe. 
We have a rigorous process of assessing the merit of requests for data and information and publish 
details of these requests each year in our annual report.  Data collected in English NHS paediatric 
intensive care units and specialist transport teams are controlled by the Healthcare Quality 
Improvement Partnership and all requests go through their Data Access Request Group.  More details 
about the HQIP data request process can be found at: http://www.hqip.org.uk/national-programmes/a-
z-of-nca/audits-and-data-gov-uk/.

PICANet Annual Report Appendices 2021 
What if I don’t want information about me or about the child I care for included? 
If you do not want information that would identify you or the child you care for included in PICANet, 
please tell the nurse or doctor in the paediatric intensive care unit. Alternatively, you can contact 
PICANet by telephone or email (details provided below) and we will ensure that your personal identifiers 
are taken off the database. You are free to request this at any time and any decision request removal 
of your or your child’s identifiers will not alter the care you receive in this or any other hospital.  
Please note that your child’s anonymised information will remain in the PICANet national clinical audit 
database for non-research purposes. 
You also have the right to request access to and to request to rectify information held about you or the 
child you care for.
