AI-MLTC Drug Lists

This repository has been setup to share drug lists across NIHR's AIM projects. Currently, the drug lists come from the AIM Consortium OPTIMAL, based in Birmingham. You can find all the drug lists created by OPTIMAL in this repository.

About the lists

There is variation in how different systems approach the classification and mapping of various drugs, and it has been noted that there is a lack of single data consistency.

The drug lists have been created using different methods to find a more efficient process to integrate as part of the Code Builder tool:

  • Method 1: Involved manually curating a list of generic drug names on the BNF, and searching for respective brand names on the dm+d browser
  • Method 2: Involves the use of both the snomedizer R package and a dm+d tool implementation (downloading latest dm+d distribution from NHS Technology Reference Update Distribution TRUD webpage). It's in the pipeline to create a self-contained wrapper for this process.
    • this method is a substance-based approach and involves running through a list of IDs for medicinal products.

The process for the creation of the lists can be found in the generation-process folder and the drug lists themselves in the drug-lists folder.

drug-lists's Issues

Review the READMEs

About

I (EZ) have added descriptions about the project in general and using the lists in particular to the best of my knowledge, but I've not been involved in the list development and I don't have experience using such lists. Getting this information reviewed is super important!

Questions about reuse

About

The hope is that these lists will be useful and reused by the MLTC community ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป โœจ
For that to be possible there are various things we need to do

  • decide on a list of authors/contributors. Related to this, would it be worth having a table with information on who created each list? It's helpful for credit, but also with directing potential reusers to the person that could answer their questions?
  • decide on a reuse licence, probably CC-BY or CC-BY-SA
  • decide whether we want contributions to this list, e.g. do we want people to add their own lists in this repo? Or, how do we want them to alert us if they find any mistakes?

SSRI code list is in scientific notation and breaks the codes

Hello my friend,
The first column in SSRIs_CPRD_AURUM.csv is meant to have the (snomed?) code, however it is being stored in scientific notation which provides the wrong code when expanded.

This is often caused when people make the mistake of using Microsoft Excel, my advise is to never use Excel for anything data related, it is a terrible tool!

Please can you re-upload with the correct codes. If Excel is being used, ensure that column is treated as text and not numbers before you save. Otherwise using any plain text editor (Notepad++, VIM, EMACs, Visual Studio Code or Notepad on windows) will save things correctly.

thank you muchly.

Instructions on how to use the lists

About

There are currently no instructions on how these lists can be used practically. That could be useful for people with no experience using these before.

There is already a section title in the README file in the drug-lists folder where that information could go.
