Hi,

Please find a draft SNOMED CT codelist for disulfiram prescriptions for consideration as well as a description of the methodology used to arrive at this here: https://codelists.opensafely.org/codelist/user/sbell/disulfiram/7f267a76/

With best wishes,

Steven.

Hi,

Following up on this. Here is a codelist for disulfiram using the pseudo BNF coding scheme: https://codelists.opensafely.org/codelist/user/sbell/disulfiram-bnf/57027758/

And another using Read V3/CTV3 here: https://codelists.opensafely.org/codelist/user/sbell/disulfiram-ctv3/

We've made available a pre-print on it's association with a lower risk of Covid-19 in the US VA data warehouse: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.10.21253331v1 (informed by a more molecularly orientated paper supporting this work here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.06.21252796v1) with some "suggestive" findings for better outcomes/prognosis in those infected, however, are somewhat lacking power in this area so it would be fantastic if we could add data from OpenSAFELY alongside this during review.

Best wishes,

Steven.
