Cambridge Multimorbidity Score codes

Repository summary

This repository creates a spreadsheet containing the read codes and medcodes, as well as the prodcodes and gemscript codes used to identify conditions that count towards the Cambridge Multimorbidity Score (CMS) for individuals.

The environment is controlled using the renv package, so if using this repository begin by running renv::restore().

The file R/codelist.R will download all of the code files for the 37 CMS conditions to a folder called “data”, and generate an xlsx file. The file is saved in a folder called “outputs”. The file contains a cover sheet, which explains the relationships between prescriptions and diagnoses for each condition, and then a tab containing codes for the diagnoses codes (medcodes) and prescription codes (prodcodes).
