| Report Name | Patients Returned |
| ? LD 1.1 Case Finding – Code that might indicate LD | Patients with a code that might suggest LD who are not on the LD register |
| ? LD 1.2 Case Finding – Code that might indicate LD (excludes autism) | As for 1.1 but not including autism |
Reports 2.xx / 2.xxx will identify numbers and proportions of patients who have had/not had their annual health check.
The reports to identify patients who have yet to have a check or opt out are subdivided into reports of those likely to be at ‘higher risk’. The criteria for higher risk are:
- Not had a health check for 2 years
- BMI <19 or >40
- More than one non-LD long term condition
- On antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, gabapentinoids, hypnotics, lithium, opioids
- On medication where appropriate monitoring is significantly overdue
- Has a LTC with features of concern
