  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.

    Codelist created to identify COVID-19 in primary care with as much sensitivity as possible

    © 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

    Codelist should be used in conjunction with COVID-19 Identification (Primary Care), if a patient does not have a code within said list, they must have 2 codes from the maximally sensitive codelist, or prescription codelist, within two weeks of each other. They must not have any codes present within the exclusion list. Codelist checked by Charlotte Warren-Gash. For full outcome phenotypes see Github issue in references
