Description
OPCS-4 codes indicating dialysis treatment for kidney replacement therapy.
Methodology
Included codes indicating current haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis (PD). Preparatory codes (e.g. fistula preparation) were excluded except for PD catheter insertion as this takes place just before dialysis. Transplant failure codes excluded.
References
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.
