Details
The UK Biobank primary care prescriptions data has multiple code columns
(Read, BNF and DMD codes). This function reshapes the data to long format so
that all codes are in a single column. The index column values relate
to row numbers in the original data.
The primary care data also contains drug name and quantities columns. The clinical codes/dates in long format and drug name/quantity columns are both returned in a list under the names 'clinical_events' and 'gp_scripts_names_and_quantities' respectively.
Other notes
By default, special date values (see
resource 591 for
further details) are set to NA.
