Hi, My name is Annabelle Yi Zhang, a house officer employed by Te Whatu Ora. I’m in the process of starting a research project with Dr. Paul Jarrett (dermatologist at CMDHB) on the topic of incidence +/- prevalence of atopic dermatitis in Auckland. I understand that in primary care GP’s use read codes for diagnoses coding - would you have a record of anonymised data on patients who have the specific coding for atopic dermatitis (M111.) ? The data we are specifically interested in are age, gender, ethnicity and domicile DHB. If so, what is the process of gaining access to such data? Thank you for taking your time to read above. Kind regards,
