Anatomic and physiologic classification of adults with congenital heart disease to predict adverse outcomes: Use of administrative codes compared to clinical staging
Authors' conclusion
Modified AP classification by chart review and ICD codes are comparable in predicting the composite outcome at least 6 months after classification.
Study context
- Population
- Adults (≥18 years) with ≥1 of 87 International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for a congenital heart defect, health encounter 2010–2019
- Participants
- 232 adults
- Comparison
- ICD/Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code-based vs chart review modified anatomic physiologic (AP) classification
- Outcome
- Composite of:
- Death
- Emergency department (ED) visits
- Any hospitalization ≥6 months after index date
Methodological detailsmedical chart review
- Medical chart review
