Deriving HES cohort / identifying birth episodes #46
-
Is there a csv for identifying birth episodes? / Just seeking clarification in caseHello, I am currently working through Guide 3 on deriving the HES cohort, and had a query I was hoping someone might be able to clarify. In an older version of the guidance that I printed, the birth episode code list was described as being available through the ECHILD phenotype code list repository. However, the current online guidance refers to identifying birth episodes following the method of Zylbersztejn et al., and I have not been able to locate a birth phenotype CSV in the repository. I looked through the stata do-files linked in the supplementary materials of Zylbersztejn's paper and wondered whether the intention is now that users derive the birth code list directly from those files? I just wanted to first check that I am not missing an updated or alternative R-friendly code list before moving forward in that way. Many thanks. Compliance checklist

Hi The intention was to create other materials that described creating birth cohorts as the process is rather involved and difficult to cover within one guide as they were originally written. That said, the code list is actually still available at https://github.com/UCL-ECHILD/code.echild.ac.uk-website/blob/main/web_source/codelists/births_zylb_v1.csv, though you really need to read this in conjunction with Ania's paper (link here for others reading this: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0243843). There are also Stata files at https://github.com/UCL-CHIG/HES-birth-cohorts (which I think will be the same as in the paper). Sorry there isn't R code available yet but between all the resources that are available, you should be able to implement something. Best wishes |
