Get CPRD patient counts for codes #12

From Evan: It is still almost impossible for reviewers to assess the validity of a code list, unless a major code is missing. Which is where this repository might again help. Especially if counts for unique codes (i.e. X patients uniquely identified with code) are included in the uploaded files. Say you missed a code that doesn’t do anything vs you missed a big one.

It will be a very useful feature if we churn out overall patient counts for each code (which I did in the past in Stata) and unique patient counts.

I see your point regarding the use of your resource...
