Prognostic Signals From Moderate Valve Disease in Big Data: An Artefact of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine Structured Reporting?

Recent studies have identified an association between moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and outcome. We assessed whether Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) structured reporting (SR), which captures and inserts echocardiographic measurements and text data directly into radiological reports, may lead to misclassifying patients with severe AS as moderate.
