Case definitions for acute myocardial infarction in administrative databases and their impact on in-hospital mortality rates.
Article in Health services research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo identify validated ICD-9-CM/ICD-10 coded case definitions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). DATA SOURCES: Ovid Medline (1950-2010) was searched to identify studies that validated acute myocardial infarction (AMI) case definitions. Hospital discharge abstract data and chart data were linked to validate identified AMI definitions. STUDY
designSystematic literature review, chart review, and administrative data analysis. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION
methodsData on sensitivity/specificity/positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) were extracted from previous studies to identify validated case definitions for AMI. These case definitions were validated in administrative data through chart review and applied to hospital discharge data to assess in-hospital mortality. PRINCIPAL
findingsOf the eight ICD-9-CM definitions validated in the literature, use of ICD-9-CM code 410 to define AMI had the highest sensitivity (94 percent) and specificity (99 percent). In our data, ICD-9-CM/ICD-10 codes 410/I21-I22 in all available coding fields had high sensitivity (83.3 percent/82.8 percent) and PPV (82.8 percent/82.2 percent). The in-hospital mortality among AMI patients identified using this case definition was 7.6 percent in ICD-9-CM data and 6.6 percent in ICD-10 data.
conclusionsWe recommend that ICD-9-CM 410 or ICD-10 I21-I22 in the primary diagnosis coding field should be used to define AMI. The use of a consistent validated case definition would improve comparability across studies.
