Description

The following codes are used to indicate learning disability.

Methodology

The following codes are prepared from CTV3 and expected to be used in general practices in records of people with a learning disability. They cover a broad range and some codes may no longer be in routine use. The codelists have been derived from information supporting the general practice quality and outcomes framework to support research in OpenSAFELY.

We are aware that some of the individual codes contained in this code list are offensive and upsetting. Although these terms are outdated we have chosen to still include them in the code list due to the historic nature of the data that is being analysed. Excluding these terms would reduce the completeness of the data and may mean that some people with a learning disability are not included in the analyses.


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.
