Release Notes — v1.0 Submitted to eClinicalMedicine, May 2026 Overview This release contains the analytical code accompanying the manuscript: Andresen K, Carreira H, Forbes H, Bowen L, Quint JK, Williamson E, and Bhaskaran K. Risks of Adverse Respiratory Outcomes in Adults with Cancer Over the Course of Survivorship Compared with Cancer-Free Individuals: A Matched Cohort Study Using Linked English Electronic Health Records. Preprint available on SSRN: https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.6210369 Software Stata v17.0 R v4.5.1 package versions are available in R/R_version Repository Scope This repository includes: Codelists for respiratory outcomes and covariates Data management code for deriving respiratory outcomes Analysis code for all results reported in the manuscript Not included: Raw data (see Data Availability below) Data management code for covariates (excluded due to data access and governance constraints) Data Availability The data used in this study are drawn from linked English electronic health records and cannot be shared publicly due to data governance and confidentiality restrictions. How to Use This Code The codelists and data management code can be used to derive the respiratory outcome variables used in this study. Analysis code can then be applied to a suitably structured dataset. Note that data management code for covariates is not provided; users will need to derive covariate variables independently, in line with the definitions described in the manuscript.
