Why the study?
Do ICD-10 coding algorithms perform similarly to ICD-9 coding algorithms in detecting conditions and risk-adjustment for AMI comorbidities?
Do ICD-10 coding algorithms perform similarly to ICD-9 coding algorithms in detecting conditions and risk-adjustment for AMI comorbidities?
ICD-10 coding algorithms for AMI comorbidities perform similarly to legacy ICD-9 algorithms for risk adjustment.
Supports ICD-10 use for AMI comorbidity risk adjustment; extends ICD-9 validations but remains hypothesis-generating.
The ICD-10 coding algorithms developed in this study to define AMI comorbidities performed similarly as past ICD-9 coding algorithms in detecting conditions and risk-adjustment in our sample. However, the ICD-10 coding algorithms should be further validated in external databases.
