Performance of ICD-9 coding algorithms for a prevalent and incident heart failure or cardiomyopathy when compared to chart-review

ALL PATIENTS WITH BRCA AUTOMATED ICD-9 ALGORITHM HF/CM EVENT
PREVALENT by
Algorithm #2
(with first ICD-9 code occurring
BEFORE date of breast cancer
diagnosis)
N=68 (weighted N=7)
INCIDENT by
Algorithm #2
(with first ICD-9 code occurring
AFTER date of breast cancer
diagnosis)
N=56 (weighted N=11)
PREVALENT by gold standard
(with first chart mention of HF/CM
or LVEF<50% occurring BEFORE
date of breast cancer diagnosis)
N=61 (weighted N=11)
Sens = 40.0 (16.9–68.9)
Spec = 99.4 (97.8–99.8)
PPV = 64.5 (27.8–89.6)
NPV = 98.3 (96.4–99.2)
INCIDENT by gold standard
(with first chart mention of HF/CM
or LVEF<50% occurring AFTER
date of breast cancer diagnosis)
N=46 (weighted N=9)
Sens = 41.7 (16.1–72.7)
Spec = 98.1 (96.1–99.0)
PPV = 33.3 (12.8–63.1)
NPV = 98.6 (96.8–99.4)
