Implication

Validated algorithms enable reliable SCD/VA identification in claims data; extends standardized pharmacoepidemiologic research.

Population

22 studies evaluating algorithms for identifying sudden cardiac death or ventricular arrhythmias (SCD/VA) in administrative databases

Intervention

Algorithms for identifying SCD/VA (e.g., ICD-9 based medical and death data)

Outcome

Positive predictive value (PPV) of the operational definitions/algorithms

This systematic review identifies validated ICD-9 based algorithms with high positive predictive values (85-88%) for identifying sudden cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmias in administrative databases, facilitating standardized pharmacoepidemiologic research.
