The relative risk of bleeding after medical hospitalization: the medical inpatient thrombosis and hemorrhage study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinically relevant bleeding risk in discharged medical patients is underestimated and leads to rehospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. Studies assessing this risk are lacking.

Objective

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a computable phenotype for clinically relevant bleeding using electronic health record (EHR) data and quantify the relative and absolute risks of this bleeding after medical hospitalization.

Methods

We conducted an observational cohort study of people receiving their primary care at sites affiliated with an academic medical center in northwest Vermont, United States. We developed a computable phenotype using EHR data (diagnosis codes, procedure codes, laboratory, and transfusion data) and validated it by manual chart re
