Pmu113 the Cost of Medical Teleconsultations of a Brazilian Government Ehealth Service

Abstract

Sensitivity increased to 52.2%, 54.0% and 62.0% in obese patients with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, respectively, with little change in PPV. Conclusions: Based on these results observed in the HIRD integrated claims/EMR data (high PPV and low sensitivity), use of ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes in the overall population to identify overweight and obese cohorts of patients for research purposes appears reasonable, but not for situations in which identifying presence or absence of these conditions is critical. Variations by specific disease-state populations warrant further consideration for research uses.
