Abstract

pcdsearch aims to facilitate searching the very long lookup files accompanying Primary Care Databases (PCDs) to identify relevant clinical codes (usually Read codes in the UK) and product codes. The command receives an MS excel file (*.xls or *.xlsx) or a comma separated values file (*.csv) as input, containing clinical description stub strings (e.g. "asthma"), code stub strings (e.g. Read code stub "H33") and/or product(drug) description stub strings (e.g. "bambuterol").
