Validation of Acute Ischemic Stroke Codes Using the International Classification of Diseases Tenth Revision
Administrative databases have increasingly become a platform for clinical investigations aiming to address trends in the prevalence, patterns of care, and outcomes of major cardiovascular diseases including strokes1-4. Identification of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) events in these databases is dependent on billing codes. Hence, accurate querying of administrative databases for research purposes require proper validation of those billing codes. Several studies have previously validated the use of certain International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision-Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes to discern hospitalizations for AIS.
