Description

SNOMED diagnosis codes for identifying people presenting to A&E with COVID-19. These codes are intended for use with NHS Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) data only. Note that 1240751000000100 is deprecated as of 31 March 2022. The other three codes (1325171000000109, 1325181000000106, 1325161000000102) were introduced on 1 July 2021.

Methodology

Codes are based on COVID-19 related SNOMED codes in the NHS Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) Enhanced Technical Output Specification (ETOS) version 4.0. The diagnosis field in ECDS should only contain the codes listed in this document. Note that while ETOS version 4.0 will be implemented on 1 July 2023, the COVID-19 related codes are the same in the previous version (v3.1.1).

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.
