Optimal Definition of Pancreaticoduodenectomy in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System
BACKGROUND: The implementation of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) has created difficulty in identifying certain procedures, including pancreaticoduodenectomy. We sought to evaluate which combinations of ICD-10-PCS codes best identify pancreaticoduodenectomy. STUDY DESIGN: We used 2017-2018 Medicare data to identify acute care hospitalization claims of beneficiaries with both ICD-10…
Use of Statewide Administrative Data to Assess Clinical Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Therapeutic Anticoagulation for Isolated Calf Vein Thrombosis
BACKGROUND: Single-center comparative effectiveness studies evaluating outcomes that can occur posthospitalization may become biased if outcomes diagnosed at other facilities are not ascertained. Administrative datasets that link patients' records across facilities may improve outcome ascertainment. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether use of linked administrative data significantly augments thromboembolic outcome ascertainment. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retro…
Validity of the AHRQ Patient Safety Indicator for Postoperative Physiologic and Metabolic Derangement Based on a National Sample of Medical Records
OBJECTIVE: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) 10, "Postoperative Physiologic and Metabolic Derangement" (PPMD), uses administrative data to detect postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis and diabetes-related complications. We sought to evaluate the indicator's criterion validity. RESEARCH DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of hospitalization records flagged posi…
Variation in Academic Medical Centers’ Coding Practices for Postoperative Respiratory Complications: Implications for the AHRQ Postoperative Respiratory Failure Patient Safety Indicator
BACKGROUND: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) 11 uses International Classification of Disease, 9th Clinical Modification diagnosis code 518.81 ("Acute respiratory failure")-but not the closely related alternative, 518.5 ("Pulmonary insufficiency after trauma and surgery")-to detect cases of postoperative respiratory failure. We sought to determine whether hospitals vary in the use of 518.81 versus 518.5…
How Valid is the ICD-9-CM Based AHRQ Patient Safety Indicator for Postoperative Venous Thromboembolism
BACKGROUND: Hospital administrative data are being used to identify patients with postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE), either pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). However, few studies have evaluated the accuracy of these ICD-9-CM codes across multiple hospitals. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicator (PSI)-12 was used to identify cases with postoperative VTE i…
Risk of early childhood injuries in twins and singletons
The incidence of twin births in the United States (US) has increased more than 65 per cent since 1980. However, the risk of injury to multiple-birth children is unknown. We sought to compare the risk of injury-related hospitalization and death between multiples and singletons. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using linked birth certificate, hospital discharge, and death certificate data from Washington State (1987–2002). All multiples an…
