Description

Codes that indicate incident or history of transient ischaemic attack. This codelist include definite and probable transient ischaemic attack. Future studies which require codes denoting definite transient ischaemic attack need to derive another codelist.

Methodology

These codes were mapped first in SNOMED using the opencodelist builder. The search terms used were:

  • transient cerebral ischaemia
  • transient ischaemic attack
  • h/o: tia

Codes only indicating the assessment scale (CHAD2S2-VASc score itself), high risk of TIA, suspected case and family history of TIA were excluded. 36 codes were identified in SNOMED.

The codes were discussed by 1 practicing clinicians and 1 epidemiologist. A summary of the discussion is available on the github issue below.

These codes were mapped to CTV3 which resulted in 24 codes.

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.
