Development of the "chronic condition measurement guide": a new tool to measure chronic conditions in older people based on ICD-10 and ATC-codes.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeThe aim of the study was to develop a comprehensive open-source measurement guide of the most prevalent chronic conditions among persons aged 65+ based on registry data of both diagnoses and prescribed drugs [the chronic condition measurement guide (CCMG)]. Furthermore, to investigate proof of concept of the measurement guide, different years of history and in- and excluding data on prescribed drugs. Finally, to investigate the measurement guide with other measurement guides designed to identify chronic conditions in persons aged 65+.
methodsThe measurement guide was based on the 200 most prevalent chronic ICD10 codes in the Danish population 65+ years in 2015; the 200 most prevalent chronic ICD10 codes and causes of death in a cohort of 209,337 people who died of non-traumatic causes (January 2011-January 2016). Prescribed drugs were included in the measurement guide based on a literature review and specialist opinions.
resultsWe identified 83 different chronic conditions based on 1241 unique ICD-10 codes. Multimorbidity prevalence ranged from 10% (1-year history, excluding prescribing information) to 69% (15-year history, including prescribing information). We identified 95% of the persons with multimorbidity using the 29 most prevalent chronic conditions. Inclusion of these 29 conditions affected the prevalence of multimorbidity and 1-year mortality when the CCMG was compared with other measurement guides.
conclusionThe CCMG is easily implemented using registry data. When implementing the measurement guide 10 years of history and drug prescribing information should be used. Using the CCMG to study multimorbidity, we recommend using at least the 29 most prevalent chronic conditions.
