About
Description
A list of high dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) preparations at VMP and AMP from the [NHS Dictionary of Medicines and Devices](https://ebmdatalab.net/what-is-the-dmd-the-nhs-dictionary-of-medicines-and-devices/).
Methodology
This codelist is based on the OpenPrescribing.net measure of prescribing of high dose ICS which itself is derived from British Thoracic/SIGN guidance. It includes
- Inhalers where form-route is
pressurizedinhalation.inhalationORpowderinhalation.inhalation
and
- BNF codes related to ICS. Full details of BNF codes included can be read in the Jupyter noptebook below.

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.
* dm+d codelists can be downloaded with codes mapped to changed VMPs included - this is the default for an OpenSAFELY project. See the documentation on keeping codelists up to date for more details.
