This is the code and configuration of our pre-print paper available on MedRxiv here. You can sign up for the OpenSAFELY email newsletter here for updates about this study and other OpenSAFELY projects.
- The paper is here
- Raw model outputs, including charts, crosstabs, etc, are in

- If you are interested in how we defined our variables, take a look at the study definition for study 1 and study definition for study 2; this is written in
python, but non-programmers should be able to understand what is going on there
- If you are interested in how we defined our code lists, look in the codelists folder. All codelists are available online at OpenCodelists for inspection and re-use by anyone
- Developers and epidemiologists interested in the framework should review the OpenSAFELY documentation
The OpenSAFELY framework is a new secure analytics platform for electronic health records research in the NHS.
Instead of requesting access for slices of patient data and transporting them elsewhere for analysis, the framework supports developing analytics against dummy data, and then running against the real data within the same infrastructure that the data is stored. Read more at OpenSAFELY.org.
