LSHTM defintion:
Any history of asplenia or dysfunction of spleen including sickle cell disease
Need to decide re to include thalassemias
Need codelist from Grint paper. Emailed Helen M re this
~~LSHTM code lists aplastic_anaemia_updated_Jul18.xlsx other_cmi_immuno_updated_Jul18.xlsx~~ moved to ebmdatalab/tpp-sql-notebook#36
Think the wrong codelists made it on here! Rather than aplastic anaemia and other_cmi_immuno this codelist should be spleen_Jul19.xlsx This codelist includes asplenia and dysplenia, including sickle cell disease. It doesn't include thalassaemias - could consider adding these.
(Have codes for thalassaemias - clinical decision as to whether they should be included in this group?)
DRAFT
DEFINITION: 2 columns for each of the codelists below: 1) a binary variable denoting the presence of one of the codes at any point in the patient record. 2) the earliest date of such a code.
CODE LISTS: code lists available in V2 --> all need mapping to V3.
FLEXIBILITY NEEDED BETWEEN STUDIES: None
EFFECTS ON COHORT SELECTION: Patients must have been registered for at least 12 months before the index date, in order to allow for recording of disease codes.

(1) Dysplenia and (2) Sickle Cell Disease (separate exposures)
DEFINITION: (1) Patients with asplenia or dysplenia ever recorded. (2) Patients with a diagnosis of sickle cell disease ever recorded.
Output 3 columns for each of dysplenia and sickle cell disease : 1) a binary variable denoting the presence of one of the codes at any point in the patient record (2) a string variable with the Read term for the earliest recorded code (3) the earliest date of this code
example patient_id spleen_bin spleen_term spleen_date sickle_bin sickle_term sickle_date 123 1 Total splenectomy 1/2/2009 1 Asplenia 1/1/1997 332 1 Atrophy of spleen 2/4/2016 1 Splenectomy 3/10/2015
CODE LISTS: v2 codes need mapping to CTV3:
Dysplenia Read 2 LSHTM/PRIMIS spleen_Jul19.xlsx + QOF (@hmcd by screening PNIMATRISK and also searching for "splen" and "spleen") spleen_QOF.xlsx + SNOMED to follow Note on code selection: did not include splenomegaly/cysts (not evidence of reduced function), TB, haematological malignancies (covered elsewhere)
Sickle cell disease Read 2 LSHTM/PRIMIS sickle_Jul19.xlsx + QOF (@hmcd searched for sickle, scd and reviewed PPV immunosuppression at risk cluster) [sickle_QOF.xlsx](https://github.com/ebmdatalab/tpp-sql-notebook/files/4463652/sickle_QOF.xlsx + SNOMED to follow

@CarolineMorton @alexwalkercebm added QOF for sickle - SNOMED for both to follow - did we decide re thalassaemias? (I see coeliac disease is elsewhere defined separately).
@hmcd Just to be clear, are we including thalassaemia? at present i have only included sickle cell disease

Looks like the high-level SNOMED codes have brought in "Excision of lesion of spleen (78412)" which should probably be removed, based on the other items we have excluded (such as cysts/injury which do not necessarily result in removal or reduced function)
Code for identifying binary variable for "splenetctomy or sickle cell"
