  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 that indicate incident or history of peripheral arterial disease.

    This is used for calculating the CHAD2S2-VASc score.

  3. Methodology

    Process:

    (1) Read v2 Started with CALIBER primary care Peripheral Arterial Disease list by Julie George, Emily Herrett, Liam Smeeth, Harry Hemingway, Anoop Shah, Spiros Denaxas https://caliberresearch.org/portal/phenotypes/peripheralarterialdisease Removed DVTs, thrombectomies and embolectomies Updated with consistent codes from Combined Read v2 codelists which is a composite of peripheral arterial disease codelist by Angel Wong and Laurie Tomlinson, and a peripheral vascular disease codelist by Helen Strongman (2) SNOMED supplementary search Searched SNOMED for peripheral arterial disease, intermittent claudication, and peripheral gangrene concepts. Didn't search for procedures in SNOMED. Aim was to identify any major gaps in the Read v2 list. (3) Mapped to CTV3 Reviewed by Laurie Tomlinson.

    A summary of the discussion is available on the github issues below.
