Description
Codes that indicate an episode of transverse myelitis
Methodology
These codes were mapped first in snomed using the opencodelist builder. The search terms used were:
- transverse myelitis
- myelitis
We checked with the CPRD code finder for any other terms for inspiration too and found none.
The codes were discussed by 3 practicing doctors. A summary of this discussion is available on the github issue below.
These codes were mapped to CTV3 and rechecked. One higher level code that is now extinct that grouped transverse myelitis in with encephalitis and encephalomyelitis was excluded after discussion with the 3 clinicians.
The final codelist was signed off by the 3 clinicians indicated 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.
