  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.

    Codes indicating COVID-19 case (1 of 13 possible types of CTV3 codes that contain information related to COVID-19)

    © 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

    Search of TPP CTV3 codes for terms relating to coronavirus, with additional (manual) check for any missing terms against the SNOMED list of COVID-19 related codes.

    Classification as "case" was then performed following review of terms by six OpenSAFELY team members (including epidemiologists, clinicians, statisticians and infectious disease modellers).
