Any prescription of a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Code set developed from children of the SNOMED code 416636000 Product containing glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (product).
By examining the prevalence of codes (number of patients with the code in their record) broken down by clinical system, we can attempt to validate the clinical code sets and the reporting of the conditions. Here is a log for this code set. The prevalence range 0.45% - 0.46% for EMIS and Vision suggests that this code set is well defined. The figure of 0.35% for TPP is lower than expected, but TPP have the smallest patient population so a degree of variability is to be expected.
Update 2024-03-06: Prevalence is now in the range 0.83% - 0.83% for EMIS and Vision practices. TPP lower at 0.48%.
