Validation of Algorithms to Detect Acute and Disseminated Lyme Disease in U.S. Administrative Claims Data
This study found that claims-based algorithms requiring diagnosis codes for LD or for related symptoms, in addition to other criteria, can identify cohorts of true LD cases. These algorithms, adjusted for PPV, can be used to estimate LD incidence in the United States.
