Impact of outcome misclassification in Medicare claims on geographic differences in ADRD prevalence in Central Appalachia

Using claims to estimate ADRD prevalence is imperfect. We found that if ADRD diagnostic sensitivity is lower in under-resourced areas, the disparity between under-resourced and resourced regions may be substantially underestimated.

Abstract

Using claims to estimate ADRD prevalence is imperfect. We found that if ADRD diagnostic sensitivity is lower in under-resourced areas, the disparity between under-resourced and resourced regions may be substantially underestimated.
