Measuring accuracy of International Classification of Diseases codes in identification of patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
Article in ERJ open research, 2024. 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
Introduction: Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is a disease which is increasing in incidence and prevalence worldwide. The incidence of the disease is frequently estimated using databases that rely on International Classification of Diseases, ninth and tenth revisions, clinical modification (ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM) discharge diagnoses. Code accuracy has proved to be a major issue for other diagnoses using ICD codes. This study aims to investigate the accuracy of the ICD codes for the diagnosis of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Methods: This is a retrospective diagnostic accuracy study which compares the radiologist's diagnosis of bronchiectasis with the ICD code reflection of that diagnosis at discharge. Results: Sensitivities were 34% (same for both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM windows) and specificities ranged from 69% for the ICD-9-CM window to 81% for ICD-10-CM window. Conclusion: We observed that ICD codes are an insufficient method to identify patients with a radiologist diagnosis of bronchiectasis.
