*Medication Codes* Separate DMARDs medication list

[NikNakk]

Separate the opensafely-dmards.csv list into separate codelists for each class of immunosuppressant. Note this has already been done in https://github.com/NikNakk/immunosuppressant-meds-research/tree/master/crossimid-codelists

Thanks @NikNakk phenomenal amount of work.

Did you manually split these up or have you script?

[NikNakk]

Hi @brianmackenna, manually through some sorting and filtering in Excel. I would often do something like this in script, but for this as a one off task it felt more efficient to do it in Excel rather that iteratively writing RegExes which would probably have been my approach otherwise.

[brianmackenna]

That's great. Hopefully no need for scripts soon as we are building tools to build codelists.

Just to confirm is it off this list you filtered?

Is this list still required? It has been surpassed I think by high cost drugs codelists?

Perhaps it is just single codelists for primary care dm+d list based on this? https://codelists.opensafely.org/codelist/opensafely/dmards/2020-06-23/

This issue was about the separated primary care drugs. The separate lists are still in the crossimid-codelists, but we’ve not moved them forwards to the codelists site because you’d suggested there was better way now of automatically deriving them. Best wishes, Nick Kennedy
