Validation of in-hospital diagnosis codes in one French hospital and out-hospital algorithm to identify skin ulcers in healthcare databases in France
We found that performances of the in-hospital identification of pressure, vascular and diabetic foot ulcers were high allowing to use them to conduct observational studies in healthcare databases. However, outpatient identification retrieved heterogeneous performance, we therefore advise researchers using the latter to perform a sensitivity analysis restricted to hospitalized patients.
