  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 dementia

  3. Methodology

    PLEASE NOTE that this captures primarily vascular dementia, as it is intended to be used as a subset of a series of codes indicating neurological conditions.

    It should not be used to study dementia in general, as it excludes Alzheimer's disease.
