Coding classifications used

The following are the code sets used within the datasets to identify the co-morbidity groups that should be considered for COVID-19 treatment, if a person with one of these co-morbidities has a positive PCR or LFT test for COVID-19 infection and satisfies the cohorting rule set.

This document lists all the codes used for the COVID-19 therapeutics detailing the datasets, coding systems, code values and code descriptions. Specifically for SNOMED codes they are only included within the cohort if the code is present in the General Practice Extraction Service (GPES) COVID at risk v4 extract or within General Practice Data for Pandemic Planning and Research (GDPPR). Please note, GDPPR does not include data for patients who have opted out of sharing data for research purposes (type 1 opt out).
