Diagnostic accuracy of International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes for advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)-based defining criteria.
| Accuracy metric | Index eGFRa <30 (n=1371), point estimate (95% CI)b | Index eGFR <30 and 90 days prior eGFR <60 (n=1346), point estimate (95% CI) | High-risk advanced CKD (n=928), point estimate (95% CI) | High- and intermediate-risk advanced CKD (n=1408), point estimate (95% CI) |
| Sensitivity | 0.55 (0.52-0.57) | 0.55 (0.53-0.58) | 0.65 (0.62-0.68) | 0.57 (0.55-0.60) |
| Specificity | 1.00 (1.00-1.00) | 1.00 (1.00-1.00) | 0.99 (0.99-1.00) | 1.00 (1.00-1.00) |
| Positive predictive value | 0.68 (0.66-0.71) | 0.68 (0.65-0.71) | 0.55 (0.52-0.58) | 0.74 (0.71-0.76) |
| Negative predictive value | 0.99 (0.99-0.99) | 0.99 (0.99-0.99) | 1.00 (1.00-1.00) | 0.99 (0.99-0.99) |
aIndex eGFR refers to the latest eGFR measure (ml·min–1·m–2) at the time of extraction of the cohort.
b20 patients were excluded from this column because they were missing a prior eGFR value; the subsequent column criteria/definitions required two eGFR values, and thus patients without two eGFR values were excluded for consistency between column criteria/definitions.
