Dementia READ codes
December 5 2012
This knowledge summary produced by Dementia Partnerships defines a standard set of READ codes for the diagnosis of dementia to be used by general practices and memory assessment services.
Where some diagnostic data are available the codes Eu00. can be used for Alzheimer’s disease, Eu002 for mixed dementia, and Eu01. for vascular dementia. All others can be given Eu02z.
Recommended READ codes
| ICD | Diagnosis | READ |
| F00 | Dementia in Alzheimer’s disease | Eu00. |
| F00.2 | Dementia in Alzheimer’s disease, atypical or mixed type (“Mixed Dementia”) | Eu002 |
| F01 | Vascular dementia | Eu01. |
| F03 | Unspecified dementia | Eu02z |
Where detailed information on subtype of dementia is available, then the READ codes below can be used. This matches ICD10 codes to recognised general practice dementia READ codes.
