Abstract | Background: Electronic health record (EHR) databases can facilitate epidemiology research into various diseases including asthma. Given the diagnostic challenges of asthma, the validity of the coding in EHR requires clarification. We aimed to assess the validity of International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) code algorithms for identifying asthma in the territory-wide electronic medical health record system of the Clinical Data Analysis and Reporting System (CDARS) in Hong Kong. |

dc.description.abstract | <p><strong>Background:</strong> Electronic health record (EHR) databases can facilitate epidemiology research into various diseases including asthma. Given the diagnostic challenges of asthma, the validity of the coding in EHR requires clarification. We aimed to assess the validity of International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) code algorithms for identifying asthma in the territory-wide electronic medical health record system of the Clinical Data Analysis and Reporting System (CDARS) in Hong Kong.<br><strong>Methods:</strong> Adult patients who had the diagnosis of asthma input from all public hospitals in Hong Kong and those from Queen Mary Hospital in 2011– 2020 were identified using the ICD-9 code of 493 (493.0, 493.1, 493.2, and 493.9) by CDARS. Patients’ clinical record and spirometry were reviewed by two respiratory specialists to confirm the presence of asthma in the randomly selected cases.<br><strong>Results:</strong> There were 43,454 patients who had the diagnostic code of asthma among all public hospitals in Hong Kong and 1852 in Queen Mary Hospital in the same period. A total of 200 cases were randomly selected and validated using medical record and spirometry review by a respiratory specialist. The overall positive predictive value (PPV) was 85.0% (95% CI 80.1− 89.9%).<br><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This was the first ICD-9 code validation for CDARS (EHR) in Hong Kong on asthma. Our study demonstrated that using ICD-9 code (493.0, 493.1, 493.2 and 493.9) to identify asthma can result in a PPV that was reliable to support the utility of the CDARS database for further research on asthma among the Hong Kong population.<br></p> | - |
