Description
ICD-10 codelist for any history of venous thromboembolism.
This differs from the existing OpenSAFELY codelist incident VTE by including codes that specify the event occured during pregnancy or post partum, and post thrombotic syndrome, and by further clarifying type (site) of VTE.
Methodology
Aim
Codelist to identify people with a history of VTE (in any context including while pregnant).
Search
(1) Identified existing ICD-10 codelists in the OpenSAFELY database for VTE (a) https://codelists.opensafely.org/codelist/opensafely/venous-thromboembolism-icd-10/6e25de26/#full-list (b) https://codelists.opensafely.org/codelist/opensafely/venous-thromboembolic-disease-hospital/2020-10-01/#full-list The second (b) includes all codes in (a) and additionally codes for VTE in unspecified sites, which we'd want to include here. Neither includes any codes relating to pregnancy or postpartum, which we would want to include for a full capture of 'a history of VTE' (c) There's also a codelist specifically for cerebral venous thrombosis which includes CVT from all causes (inc pregnancy, post partum and in the context of sepsis https://codelists.opensafely.org/codelist/opensafely/cerebral-venous-thrombosis-secondary-care-or-mortality/43b72958/ and has been discussed with MHRA and PHE
(2) Searched for existing validated codelists and found list by Sultan et al (reference below).
(3) New search in WHO browser (2019 version) to check for any further codes to consider.
Approach:
Based codelist on validated codelist by Sultan et al, with additions of - cerebral venous thrombosis codes - post thrombotic syndrome (since we are interested in a history of VTE not incidence) - events specified as in pregnancy or postpartum. - 3-character codes I80, I81 and I26 as all subtypes relevant (other than I800 for superficial thrombosis nested below I80)
Categorised by site aiming for as much consistency as possible with CTV3 codelist https://codelists.opensafely.org/codelist/opensafely/vte-classified-codes/08b94f7d/

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.
