  2. Definition

    Use MODIFIED CALIBER 'Atrial fibrillation' phenotyping algorithm:

    At the specified date, a patient is considered to have had 'Atrial fibrillation' or flutter IF they meet any of the criteria below on or before the specified date.

    The earliest date on which the individual meets any of the following criteria on or before the specified date is defined as the first event date:

      1. Historical & Diagnosed: first recorded AF code indicates monitoring of an existing condition, or reference to a previous AF diagnosis, or a diagnosis code for AF; preference given to the earliest dated record rather than diagnosis source (i.e. no preference for primary versus secondary care).

      2. af_gprd: category 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

      3. af_hes: category 6
