Malabsorption due to gastrointestinal surgery SNOMED CT
This codelist aims to identify gastrointestinal surgeries resulting in malabsorption of vitamin D. It is developed for the purpose of the vitamin D study (indications for vitamin D testing/ prescribing).
Malabsorption due to other causes SNOMED CT
This codelist identifies malabsorption syndromes. It is designed for the purpose of the vitamin D study (indications for vit. D testing/ prescribing) and therefore focused on the malabsorption of lipids.

To be used correctly and cover all potential causes of malabsorption, this codelist should be used alongside the following codelists: Coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Pancreatic Insufficiency, Malabsorption due to gastrointestinal surgery.
Malabsorption due to pancreatic insufficiency SNOMED CT
This codelist defines pancreatic insufficiency to define malabsorption disorders for the purpose of the vitamin D study.
For this reason, it focuses on exocrine insufficiency of lipid absorption, as opposed to endocrine insufficiency (diabetes is not included by default).
