Validation of insurance claims data on aetiology, surgical type and prosthesis for isolated valve surgery: a retrospective observational surgery
The PPVs for both aetiologies and surgical types of valvular heart disease were generally satisfactory. The inclusion of supply codes for mechanical valve replacements enhanced accuracy but led to fewer eligible patients being included in the sample. This study provides a potentially optimal framework for future research on valve diseases and surgeries using claims databases.
