Description
Code list aiming to identify individuals consulting complaining of abdominal pain.
Methodology
Identified from initial search terms outside of OpenCodelists: "abdom" "colic" "git pain" "epigast" "hypogast" hypochondri" "iliac" "irritable bowel syndrome" "ibs" umbilical" "subcostal" "abd. pain"
Candidate codelist reviewed outside OpenCodelists by two clinicians. As we reviewed our candidate codelist outside openCodelists, we did not benefit from the tree structures that might have identified additional codes. However, we assume that these are likely to be codes that are not used frequently, e.g., eponymous syndromes.
Retained terms relating to abdominal bloating or distension as represent abdominal discomfort. Retained terms relating to irritable bowel syndrome as likely to include abdominal discomfort. Retained abdominal rigidity, guarding, and acute abdomen, as while they may suggest a surgical abdomen, they all still imply presence of pain.

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.
