Feasibility of Identifying Acute Nontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage Events Using Diagnostic Coding Among Veterans with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Alzheimer's Dementia.

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
introductionBased on manual review of clinical notes of using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision coding, we evaluated the feasibility and validity for monitoring, recording, and reporting intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) events in patients with all-cause mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's dementia including, but not limited to, patients eligible for anti-amyloid therapy.
methodsPrincipal and first-position hospital discharge codes for ICH events for 200 patients were identified from the Veterans Affairs Health System structured administrative database. Clinician manual review of discharge summary notes assessed and confirmed the presence of coded events. Available documentation of bleed locations was further reviewed, and the extent of event adjudication for potential etiology was assessed. Additionally, 25 acute ICH cases were randomly identified by reviewing discharge notes to confirm corresponding diagnostic code-based reporting.
resultsOf the 200 identified patients, 161 with acute ICH events were confirmed, resulting in a positive predictive value (PPV) of 80.5% for ICH event presence identified by diagnostic coding. Bleed locations were described for 151 of 161 patients with confirmed events. Of 110 cases whose diagnostic codes indicated an event location, 79 had location descriptions in discharge summaries that were consistent with the coding (PPV = 71.8%). Possible etiology was described in 56/161 patients' discharge summaries. Among the 25 acute ICH cases identified from discharge notes, 8 had corresponding ICH diagnostic codes.
conclusionThis study supports the feasibility and validity of the ICD-10 coding system for monitoring, recording, and reporting ICH event presence. When location is specified in the codes, the ICD-10 coding has an acceptable PPV. Overall, the current diagnostic coding system provides a reasonable framework for initial reporting and may allow for only limited inference of etiology such as differentiating nontraumatic versus traumatic events. Coding accuracy for ICH can be expected to further improve with the availability of guidelines, training, and standardization across clinical practices.
