  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 in primary care with as much specificity as possible. For additional case identification in infants, the SNOMED code for Bronchiolitis (4120002) can be used to identify cases in emergency care (ECDS)

  3. Methodology

    Bronchiolitis included as a proxy for RSV infection in infants, inclusion of these codes in adults is acceptable as they do not indicate other respiratory viruses. Codelists have been reviewed by Jennifer Quint. To see full outcome phenotypes see Github issue in references
