Description

A list of low and medium dose single ingredient inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) preparations at VMP and AMP from the NHS Dictionary of Medicines and Devices.

Methodology

This codelist is based on the OpenPrescribing.net measure of prescribing of high dose ICS which itself is derived from British Thoracic/SIGN guidance. It includes

  • Inhalers where form-route is pressurizedinhalation.inhalation OR powderinhalation.inhalation

and

  • BNF codes related to ICS that do not appear in the High dose ICS Inhalers

and

  • restricts to where there is only a steroid in the inhaler i.e. excludes combination products.

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.

* dm+d codelists can be downloaded with codes mapped to changed VMPs included - this is the default for an OpenSAFELY project. See the documentation on keeping codelists up to date for more details.
