Description

This is a codelist that identifies SNOMED codes where a Directing Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) is explicitly contraindicated. They have previously been know as NOACs.

Methodology

The OpenCodelists Snomed browser was searched using the following terms

  • anticoagulant
  • apixaban
  • doac
  • edoxaban*
  • rivaroxaban

All codes that indicated an explicit contraindication to DOACs were included. Non-specific codes such as anticoagulation contraindicated NOS were not included.

*Edoxaban does not appear to have explicit contraindications whereas the other DOACs do.

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.
