Feasibility of Identifying Acute Nontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage Events Using Diagnostic Coding Among Veterans with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Alzheimer’s Dementia
This study supports the feasibility and validity of the ICD-10 coding system for monitoring, recording, and reporting ICH event presence. When location is specified in the codes, the ICD-10 coding has an acceptable PPV. Overall, the current diagnostic coding system provides a reasonable framework for initial reporting and may allow for only limited inference of etiology such as differentiating nontraumatic versus traumatic events. Coding accuracy for ICH can be expected to further improve with the availability of guidelines, training, and standardization across clinical practices.
