Description

Bell's palsy - relevant code from ECDS restricted reference set of SNOMED codes

Methodology

The ECDS dataset is coded in SNOMED using a restricted reference set of SNOMED codes, as described here https://datadictionary.nhs.uk/dataelements/emergencycarediagnosissnomedct_.html https://dd4c.digital.nhs.uk/dd4c/publishedmetadatas/intid/710

Searched ECDS data dictionary re Bell's palsy, as documented on Github https://github.com/opensafely/codelist-development/issues/135

The restricted reference set includes one SNOMED code for Bell's palsy: 193093009 Bell’s palsy (disorder)

Please note this is a codelist of the relevant SNOMED code in the ECDS restricted reference set - there are other SNOMED codes for Bell's palsy which would be relevant in data sources using the full SNOMED dictionary

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.
