Notes on process: 
- started with Julian Matthewman Aurum "translation" of Clegg codelist
- used terms in Clegg codelis to search on "term" and identify additional codes 

Notes on inclusion/exclusion criteria: 
- included historic ("history of") codes as trying to capture frailty as a state rather than incidence of components
- excluded "family history" codes
