Description

This is a list of all the unique values from the Drug Name variable in the High Cost Drugs Dataset that relate to the prescribing of tildrakizumab.

Methodology

All drug name values that contain at least one of the above strings are included in the tildrakizumab group and assigned the VTM (virtual therapeutic moiety) code 36440811000001104.

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.
