Implication
Supports efficient HFrEF identification in Danish registers for research; extends validation but leaves generalizability open.
Structured PICO
Does the combination of ICD-10 HF diagnosis and recorded RASi+BB treatment accurately identify patients with HFrEF in Danish administrative registers?
P
Population
Patients with new-onset heart failure in Danish administrative registers
I
Intervention
ICD-10 HF diagnosis combined with recorded RASi+BB treatment by 120 days after discharge
O
Outcome
Positive predictive value for identifying patients with HFrEF
The combination of ICD-10 HF diagnosis and RASi+BB treatment records can accurately identify HFrEF patients in Danish administrative registers, facilitating future registry-based research.
