Importance of different electronic medical record components for chronic disease identification in a Swiss primary care database: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: The EMR-C medication was most important for chronic disease identification overall, but identification varied strongly by disease. The analysis of the importance of different EMR-Cs for estimating prevalence revealed strengths and weaknesses of the disease definitions used within the FIRE primary care database. Although prioritising specificity over sensitivity in the EMR-C criteria may have led to underestimation of most prevalences, their sex- and age-specific patterns were consistent with published figures for Swiss general practice.PMID:37854021 | DOI:10.57187/smw.2023.40107 (Source: Swiss Medical Weekly)
