  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 DMARDSDRUG_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/).

    © University of Oxford for the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science 2025. This work may be copied freely for non-commercial research and study.

  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: 330037008, 317430009, 326874007, 326877000, 326884008, 326879002, 326881000, 330057007, 326906009, 326883002, 330059005, 317431008, 326875008, 326905008, 326882007, 330058002, 330040008.

    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.
