Description

This codelist is to identify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is a combination of three existing code lists: 1) COPD diagnosis code (name: COPD - secondary care). 2) copd_icd10 by elsie_horne 3) COPD exacerbation specific code (COPD exacerbation codelist).

Methodology

The codelists are reviewed by Professor Jennifer Quint and Dr Hannah Whittaker, both from Imperial College London.

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.
