A Validation Study: How Predictive Is a Diagnostic Coding Algorithm at Identifying Rheumatic Heart Disease in Western Australian Hospital Data?

International Classification of Diseases codes for rheumatic heart disease (RHD) (ICD-10 I05-I08) include valvular heart disease of unspecified origin, limiting their usefulness for estimating RHD burden. An expert opinion-based algorithm was developed to increase their accuracy for epidemiological...

Description
Summary:International Classification of Diseases codes for rheumatic heart disease (RHD) (ICD-10 I05-I08) include valvular heart disease of unspecified origin, limiting their usefulness for estimating RHD burden. An expert opinion-based algorithm was developed to increase their accuracy for epidemiological case ascertainment. The algorithm included codes not defaulting to RHD (‘probable’) plus selected codes pertaining to mitral valve involvement in patients
