Validation of <scp>ICD</scp>‐10 Diagnosis Codes for Identification of Acute Myocardial Infarction From a US Integrated Healthcare System
We found that over 80% of AMI cases identified with ICD-10-CM codes were confirmed upon cardiologist adjudication. Cases not coded in the principal diagnosis position were much less likely to be confirmed, and care should be taken when using them in EHR-based research.
