Any code indicating a diagnosis of paget's disease of bone. NB this does not include "paget's disease of nipple" and "extramammary paget's disease" which are unrelated (just named after the same person who identified them).
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 0.02% - 0.05% suggests that this code set is reasonably well defined, but is either a rare condition or not often recorded in practice.
Update 2024-03-15: Prevalence now 0.02% - 0.03%.
