  2. Definition

    This codelist was taken from OpenCodelists, created by OpenSAFELY. We recommend viewing this Phenotype on the OpenCodelist website to view the most recent version.

    Taken from the ACE_COD NHS drug refset. Contains public sector information licensed under the UK Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/).

  3. Methodology

    This codelist was imported automatically. The following codes were not found in the Dictionary of Medicines and Devices dictionary and so excluded from this codelist: 408050008, 318177008, 318887009, 318859000, 318853004, 318926002, 318176004, 318942009, 318935009, 318860005, 318906001, 318892006, 318910003, 318806002, 318894007, 318850001, 318901006, 318824000, 374667004, 318820009, 318821008, 410958005, 318915008, 318902004, 408052000, 408051007, 318943004, 318880006, 318884002, 318855006, 408040007, 318909008, 318923005, 318886000, 318925003, 318849001, 318900007, 318885001, 318934008, 318896009, 318807006, 318924004, 318897000, 318975001, 318857003, 318917000, 318858008, 318916009, 318944005, 318851002.

    This may be because this codelist contains both clinical terms and medications. In which case you may need to create another codelist for the missing clinical/medication codes.
