<p>The Positive Predictive Value of Hip Fracture Diagnoses and Surgical Procedure Codes in the Danish Multidisciplinary Hip Fracture Registry and the Danish National Patient Registry</p>

Abstract: The health-care databases may be a valuable source for epidemiological research in hip fracture surgery, if the diagnoses are valid. We examined the validity of hip fracture diagnoses and surgical procedure codes in the Danish Multidisciplinary Hip Fracture Registry (DMHFR) and the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR) by calculating the positive predictive value (PPV). Methods: We identified a random sample of 750 hip fracture patients registered in the DMHFR between 2014 and 2017. Diagnoses have been coded… Show more

“…Our sample size (n = 15,717) was much greater than those reported in similar validation studies. 14 , 17 The large population-based sample and the small differences in characteristics of women who were excluded from the current analyses support the generalizability of the results. In addition, we believe that our data are more reflective of the general Japanese population than past findings in other regional cohorts to date because geographical variation is minimized by the nationwide scope of the JNHS.…”

“…12 The positive predictive value of the hip fracture diagnosis is between 90% and 98% depending on fracture type. 13 The Danish National Health Service Prescription Database (DNHSPD) has kept information on all prescriptions for reimbursed drugs dispensed by community pharmacies in Denmark since 2004 according to Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system (ATC codes). Data from the DNHSPD can account for patient's medication.…”
