Coding in medical procedures is crucial for patients, and errors made by hospital administration during the coding process can have an impact on both the financial results and the course of therapy. T...
In a local hospital in Najran, Saudi Arabia, a cross-sectional observational analysis was conducted on patients with a clinical coder. The percentage of precision and error following the re-coding of ...
Primary diagnosis was incorrectly coded in 57 (26 per cent) records, and secondary diagnosis was incorrectly coded in 21 (9.9 per cent) records. Inaccurate medical labelling has been seen in emergency...
The percentage of records with the most incorrect coding was found to be 16 (7.5 per cent) in the emergency room, 10 (4.7 per cent) in the surgical clinic, and 5 (2.3 per cent) in the gynaecology/OBS ...
The percentage of inaccurate clinical codes in primary diagnoses reached (26.8 per cent) and the percentage of incorrect clinical codes in secondary diagnoses reached (9.9 per cent)....
Introduction Issues arising from the current coding system in dentistry have been highlighted. Available codes are considered to lack clarity and fail to reflect all dental specialties. There are no p...
While clinical coding is intended to be an objective and standardized practice, it is important to recognize that it is not entirely the case. The clinical and bureaucratic practices from event of dea...
This study investigated 91,022 deaths recorded in the Scottish Asthma Learning Healthcare System dataset between 2000 and 2017. Asthma-related deaths were identified by the presence of any of ICD-10 c...
We found that one in every 200 deaths in this were coded as being asthma related. Less than 1% of asthma-related mortality records used both J45 and J46 ICD-10 codes as causes. Infection (predominantl...
Further inspection of patient history can be essential to validate deaths recorded as caused by asthma, and to identify potentially mis-recorded non-asthma deaths, particularly in those with complex c...
Many circumstances necessitate judgments regarding causation in health information systems, but these can be tricky in medicine and epidemiology. In this article, we reflect on what the ICD-11 Referen...
The International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11) has significantly improved the ability to navigate coding challenges beyond prior iterations of the ICD. Commonly encountered sourc...
The quality of input data determines the reliability of epidemiological assessments. Thus, the verification of cases reported to the National Cancer Registry is required. The objective of our study wa...
Although administrative claims data have a high degree of completeness, not all medically attended Respiratory Syncytial Virus-associated lower respiratory tract infections (RSV-LRTIs) are tested or c...
We estimated the weekly incidence of LRTI (inpatient, outpatient, and total) for children 0-4 years using 2011-2019 commercial insurance claims, stratified by HHS region, matched to the corresponding ...
Approximately 42% of predicted RSV cases were coded in claims data. Across all regions, the percentage of LRTI attributable to RSV were 15-43%, 10-31%, and 10-31% of inpatient, outpatient, and combine...
Underestimation based on coding in claims data may be addressed by NREVSS-based adjustment of claims-based RSV incidence. However, where setting-specific positivity rates is unavailable, we recommend ...
Current digital medical databases record systematically coded diagnoses, but many legacy databases are full of hand-written, free text diagnoses, which can only be meaningfully analysed after mapping ...
Therefore, we sought to create an algorithm which maps hand-written German diagnoses from our clinical photography database to ICD-10 diagnosis codes, validate its output manually by dermatologists an...
Our rule-based algorithm mapped 50,884 unprocessed hand-written German free-text diagnoses covering five decades to ICD-10 codes, while reaching an accuracy of 82% against 817 dermatologist-validated ...
Using the presented algorithm, it is possible to reliably match hand-written free text of German dermatological diagnoses to ICD-10 codes, thus enabling systematic analysis of legacy databases, making...
Mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders are chronic pediatric conditions, and their prevalence has been on the rise over recent decades. Affected children have long-term health sequelae and a decl...
We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of coding related to pediatric mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders in a large integrated health care system's electronic health records (EHRs) and compare the...
Medical records of 1200 member children aged 2-17 years with at least 1 clinical visit before the COVID-19 pandemic (January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2014, the ICD-9-CM coding period; and January 1, 2...
The overall agreement between the identification of mental, behavioral, and emotional conditions using diagnosis codes compared to medical record abstraction was strong and similar across the ICD-9-CM...
Diagnostic codes are quite reliable for identifying selected childhood mental, behavioral, and emotional conditions. The findings remained similar during the pandemic and after the implementation of t...
Alcohol (AC) and nonalcohol-associated cirrhosis (NAC) epidemiology studies are limited by available case definitions. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of previous and newly developed case definiti...
We randomly selected 700 hospitalizations from the 2008 to 2022 Canadian Discharge Abstract Database with alcohol-associated and cirrhosis-related International Classification of Diseases 10th revisio...
Electronic medical records were available for 671 admissions; 252 had confirmed AC and 195 NAC. Compared to previous AC definitions, the newly developed algorithm selecting for the AC code, alcohol-as...
New case definitions show enhanced accuracy for identifying hospitalizations for AC and NAC compared to previously used approaches....
