ICD-10-AM codes for cirrhosis and related complications: key performance considerations for population and healthcare studies by Kelly L Hayward, Amy L Johnson, Benjamin J Mckillen, Vikas Bansal, Leigh U Horsfall, Gunter Hartel, Chris Moser, Elizabeth E Powell, Patricia C Valery

“…Overall accuracy was lower for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (‘grouped’ PPV 0.75; κ 0.73) and the poorest for encephalopathy (‘grouped’ PPV 0.55; κ 0.21). To optimise detection of cirrhosis-related encounters, an ICD-10-AM code algorithm was constructed and validated in an independent cohort of 116 patients with known cirrhosis.Conclusion Multiple ICD-10-AM codes should be considered when using administrative databases to study the burden of cirrhosis and its complications in Australia, to avoid underestimation of the prevalence, morbidity, mortality and related resource utilisation from this burgeoning chronic disease.…”
