About

Description

This codelist aims to reflect overall clinical activity related to Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) for depression in primary care.

Methodology

Inclusion criteria for codes: Codes that indicate the use, result, or decline of a validated Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) for depression in the majority of cases. This includes administration of PROMs (e.g. PHQ-9), recorded PROM scores, positive/negative screening findings and documented declined assessments.

Exclusion criteria for codes: Codes that reflect general administrative activity, diagnostic statements, or non–PROM-related clinical findings in the majority of cases. This includes mental health reviews not tied to specific PROMs, Diagnostic terms (e.g. “depression” as a condition code), Codes unrelated to patient-reported assessment (e.g. “self-control behaviour”) and inactive codes, unless justified by high usage or relevance.

References

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.
