About

Description

A SNOMED CT codelist describing primary care requests for total cholesterol.

Methodology

2 search strategies were used: 1: SNOMED codes for existing CTV3 codes in SRO notebooks (using Kahootz CTV3 browser) 2: Search for "cholesterol" and selecting any codes which related to total cholesterol monitoring and level.

Whether codes relating to "monitoring" rather than "level" need to excluded is still to be determined.

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.
