Search and risk stratification tools
We have developed and defined search and stratification tools to help primary care teams prioritise care appropriately for people with CVD and respiratory long-term conditions. These tools can be adapted to meet local preference if required. The tools stratify patients into low , medium , and high-risk of deterioration.
The tools have been developed by our clinical team, working with the Clinical Effectiveness Group based at Queen Mary University of London. The search criteria draw on national guidance.

The following guides provide an overview of the search criteria that have been used in our search tools.
How to run the search
Watch our demonstration videos which provide details of how to run searches and take you through these tools in action – we will use asthma and COPD as examples. Use these in conjunction with the search guides above.
