  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.

    Identifies codes which indicate a definite loss of childbearing potential, but where childbearing potential could possibly be restored following a successful reparative procedure. The scope of the codelist is limited to female patients.

  3. Methodology

    Search terms / synonyms / search strategy: Sterilisation / Sterilised Fallopian

    These terms were searched for in Shrimp browser and OpenCodelists to generate a list of more specific code categories that were relevant to review. A comparison was made with the existing Primary Care Domain RefSet on sterilisation to ensure that nothing relevant had been missed.

    Inclusion criteria for codes: Code indicates an inability to have children in future, but which may possibly be restored by a reparative procedure.

    Exclusion criteria for codes: Code does not indicate an inability to have children in future. Code indicates an inability to have children in future which is not conceivably possible to restore.
