Description
All opioid-containing products which are given via inhaled route of administration, EXCLUDING products listed in section 4.10 (substance misuse) of the legacy BNF code structure. Drugs outside of this, but not included in "opioid analgesics" in the BNF ARE included (e.g. co-codamol, alfentanil)
Methodology
A modified version of the SQL used to create the measure definition for the opioid OME measure on OpenPrescribing was created.
The prescribing data table was replaced with the BNF hierarchy table, and code that related to calculating the OME was removed, leaving only identification of products containing opioids, as defined in the measure definition.
The SQL can be found on the Github issue for this codelist (listed in the references).
These codes were then filtered to only include inhaled route of administration.

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.
