  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 RSV infections in primary care without testing, these medications were provided by clinician Jennifer Quint

    © 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

    To be used in combination with the presence of at least one code from the maximally sensitive RSV primary care codelist (see references) when using these prescriptions to identify RSV cases. To see full outcome phenotypes see Github issue in references
