Description

A SNOMED CT codelist describing primary care requests for total cholesterol with a numerical value.

Methodology

We identified the full set of cholesterol level codes (see cholesterol codelist), and excluded any codes which did not have at least 10 thousand codes in EMIS and SystmOne recorded in 2020, where a reasonable proportion had numerical values attached.

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.

1005671000000105 Serum cholesterol level

Codes not in the full codelist are in faint grey.

This page shows the search terms that were used to build the codelist. Concepts that match the search terms, but which were excluded, are in faint grey.
