Using the electronic medical record (EMR) for identifying women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is a common, complex disease, with severe long term sequelae such as anovulatory infertility, endometrial carcinoma, heart attack and stroke. Despite its public healthy importance, PCOS is inconsistently diagnosed due to both its clinical heterogeneity and the use of multiple diagnostic definitions. An innovative approach to identify PCOS cases is to repurpose data routinely collected into the EMR, using the standardized International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision (ICD-9 and ICD-10) coding system.
