Notes:

a

The ordering corresponds to the SKS browser, ie, ICD-10 for diagnoses and NOMESCO for surgery;

b

ICD codes without and with capital letters refer to ICD-8 and ICD-10 codes, respectively;

c

reflects the reviewed number of records in the DNPR (ie, the denominator in calculations of PPV). Among obstetric variables, we included only validation results based on >20 diagnoses;

d

confidence intervals were calculated using Wilson’s score method;

e

information not specified in validation papers, but confirmed through correspondence with authors. Unspecified and unconfirmed data are listed as not available (n/a);

f

recalculation of confidence intervals using Wilson’s score method not possible due to insufficient data;

g

confidence limit equals 100 due to rounding.
