IRR was highest for mortality (k=1.00, CI: 1.00-1.00) and lowest for both ureteral obstruction and dialysis (k=0.00, CI: 0.00-0.00). IRR was fair for renal insufficiency (k=0.32, CI: 0.19-0.44), sepsis (k=0.28, CI: 0.06-0.50), and prolonged NGT/NPO (k=0.39, CI: 0.11-0.66); moderate for UTI (k=0.50, CI: 0.34-0.65) and stage (k=0.53, CI: 0.30-0.76); and substantial for: urine leak (k=0.60, CI: 0.43-0.76), surgical margins (k=0.94, CI: 0.86-1.02), pneumonia (k=0.80, CI: 0.42-1.19), and C. difficile infection (k=0.67, CI: 0.05-1.28). CONCLUSIONS: We developed a novel EMR-based algorithm that matched or exceeded the accuracy of NSQIP abstraction in the identification of post-prostatectomy outcomes. High sensitivity and specificity, and substantial agreement between the algorithm and NSQIP indicates that automated abstraction is a tenable replacement for trained manual abstraction. Broader application of this algorithm may facilitate standardization and cost reduction for real-time national outcome and quality metric benchmarking. 1 Saraswathula, A, et al.
