Description
Code list aiming to identify individuals consulting complaining of nasal congestion.
Methodology
Identified from intial search terms outside of OpenCodelists: "nasal congest" "blocked nose" "nose block" "nose clog" "clogged nose" "catarrh" "rhinitis" nose congest" "coryza" "sniffle" "snuffle" "nasal drip" "nasal disch" "nasal mucosa" "nose drip" "rhinorrhoea" "rhinorrhea" "coryza" "congested nose" "discharge from nose" "stuffed nose" "sinus congest" "nose run"
Clearly irrelevant codes excluded (not reviewed by a second clinician)
Candidate codelist uploaded to OpenCodelists for review of candidate codes.
Excluded specific rhinitis diagnoses suggesting underlying causes, e.g., atrophic, ulcerative, hypertrophic, fibrinous, granulomatous or membranous rhinitis.
Excluded terms specifying purulent nasal discharge, as suggests bacterial cause.
Retained terms relating to running nose/rhinorrhoea (except cerebrospinal rhinorrhoea).

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.
