Accuracy of phenotyping chronic rhinosinusitis in the electronic health record.
CONCLUSION: These algorithms are an important first step to identify patients with CRS, and may facilitate EHR-based research on CRS pathogenesis, morbidity, and management. Exclusive use of coded data for phenotyping CRS has limited accuracy, especially because CRS symptomatology overlaps with that of other illnesses. Incorporating natural language processing (e.g., to evaluate results of nasal endoscopy or sinus computed tomography) into future work may increase algorithm accuracy and identify patients whose disease status may not be ascertained by only using billing codes.

The Editors' Choice
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses with an unclear cause. The factors and illnesses associated with the development of CRS have not been examined longitudinally. In this issue Tan et al (p 1350) study the epidemiology of CRS using a case-control study on incident CRS cases. By using 10 years of electronic health records from the Geisinger Clinic, which serves a primary care population of a geographically large and demographically stable population in central Pennsylvania, the authors were able to examine patterns of diagnoses and health resource use preceding a new di...
