Agreement between medical record and administrative coding of common comorbidities in orthopaedic trauma patients
2019, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Traditionally, the gold standard for capturing information about pre-existing comorbidities is through clinical interviews. However, in large epidemiological studies, this is not feasible nor time efficient [4]. An alternative is to review medical records, which provide extensive detailed clinical information, but this can be tedious, time-consuming and labour-intensive [5].
Development and validation of a prediction model for patients discharged to post–acute care after colorectal cancer surgery
2017, Surgery (United States)Citation Excerpt :Patients were excluded from the study if they had a postoperative complication during the index admission, because complications are associated with prolonged LOS. For the same reason, we also excluded patients with an LOS greater than the 75th percentile for a given procedure9-12 (Table I). This approach to using procedure-specific, prolonged LOS as a surrogate for postoperative complications has been described in detail and validated by Silber et al.13 Patients who were not discharged to home or post–acute care were excluded from the study.
