OBJECTIVE The general equivalence mappings (GEMs) and reimbursement mappings (RMs) facilitate translation between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM. This study compared prospectively dual-encoded diagnoses assigned by professional coders with the GEMs/RMs in a clinical setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Professional coders manually encoded diagnoses from 100 primary care notes into both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-...

the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) has currently become the standard treatment for preventing sudden cardiac death. there are some psychological consequences in patients with icd such as posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd) after the shocks induced by icd. this report aimed to present the case of a 54-year-old man with icd who had developed ptsd; his ptsd was treated, using cognit...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Private grant(s) and/or Sponsorship. Main source(s): Boston Scientific Medical device company St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Introduction The PRAETORIAN trial showed that the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is noninferior to transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) with respect device-related complications and inappropriate shocks...

Methods Data source: Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS) of hospital care episodes. Potential Day Surgery Episode (PDSE) was defined as the hospital episode with a surgical procedure (ICD-9-CM), programmed admission and home discharge. To be considered as PDSE, the selected procedure must appear in at least 50 day-surgery cases and be developed in at least 5 hospitals. The study database included: MB...

Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) refers to the use of pacing stimulation techniques for termination of tachyarrhythmias. Such techniques can be automatically applied using implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and offer the potential for painless termination of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Reduction in painful shocks may improve patient quality-of-life (QOL) and extend ICD pulse generator...

An algorithm was developed that identifies patients with new diagnoses of HIV infection by the use of electronic health records. It was based on the sequence of HIV diagnostic tests, entry of ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes, and measurement of HIV-1 plasma RNA levels in persons undergoing HIV testing from 2006 to 2012 at four large urban Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities. Source data we...
