Methodology

Context

Is this for a specific purpose or context, if so what, or could it be used more broadly?

Inclusion/exclusion criteria

Describe the inclusion and exclusion criteria used to define the codelist.

Borderline cases

List any codes which were considered borderline, and explain why they were included/excluded.

Sensitivity vs specificity

Is the aim of this codelist to be specific (e.g. hypertension via confirmed diagnosis codes), or sensitive (e.g. flu via potential symptom codes)?

Additional information

Any other relevant information about the codelist.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.

We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
