I would include both primary and secondary causes (i.e. the existing list and the two codes below) as the morbidity/treatment is similar. Please rename the list "pulmonary hypertension".

Clinical review complete
Primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension code lists were merged into a single code list named CPRD_pulmonary_hypertension according to clinical revision. Uploaded to the branch codesets-included-conditions.
I have no problem with this list. However there are a few considerations: @finersarah 1) Primary PH only has one code - this is likely to be rare 2) Secondary PH only has two codes - these are also likely to be a rare. Thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension Secondary pulmonary hypertension 3) We may need to consider whether the likely differences in aetiology or outcomes warrant separation of pulmonary and secondary hypertension. 4) We should probably do this after considering the 'prevalence' estimate as if the conditions are very rare they may not met that criteria for inclusion based on prevalence.
