摘要
This study examines the validity of using ICD-10 codes to identify hospitalized pneumonia cases. Using a case-cohort design, subjects were randomly selected from monthly cohorts of patients aged >= 65 years discharged from April 2000 to March 2002 from two large tertiary Australian hospitals. Cases had ICD-10-AM codes J10-J18 (pneumonia); the cohort sample was randomly selected from all discharges, frequency matched to cases by month. Codes were validated against three comparators: medical record notation of pneumonia, chest radiograph (CXR) report and both. Notation of pneumonia was determined for 5098/5101 eligible patients, and CXR reports reviewed for 3349/3464 (97 %) patients with a CXR. Coding performed best against notation of pneumonia: kappa 0.95, sensitivity 97.8 % (95 % CI 97.1-98.3), specificity 96.9 % (95 % CI 96.2-97.5), positive predictive value (PPV) 96.2 % (95 % CI 95.4-97.0) and negative predictive value (NPV) 98.2 % (95 % CI 97.6-98.6). When medical record notation of pneumonia is used as the standard, ICD-10 codes are a valid method for retrospective ascertainment of hospitalized pneumonia cases and appear superior to use of complexes of symptoms and signs, or radiology reports.
