Validity of the Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups system on the utilisation of healthcare services in Norway: a retrospective cross-sectional study
Risk scores from the ACG system is valid for classifying GP visits, hospitalisation and specialist outpatient visits. It does not outperform simpler models in the classification of utilisation of municipal services such as nursing homes and home services and outpatient emergency care in primary healthcare. The ACG system can be applied in Norway using administrative data from either GPs or hospitals.
