“…The most important reasons to be only registered in the CIS-based registry for cases with CHD, acute myocardial infarction, and unstable angina pectoris were as follows: a different discharge diagnosis in the HDR-based registry (68, 59, and 75%, respectively), mostly ICD-9 codes 413.90 (other and unspecified angina pectoris) and 414.00 (coronary atherosclerosis), a diagnosis based on outpatient files (18,6, and 21%, respectively), or a hospital admission in another Dutch hospital (1, 3, and 0%, respectively), or in a foreign hospital (4, 9, and 1%, respectively). All cases with CHD, acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina pectoris that were registered only in the HDR-based registry had a diagnosis of another (11, 100, and 40%, respectively) or no cardiovascular disease (89, 0, and 60%, respectively) according to the CIS-based registry.…”
