Predictive Validity of Hospital-Associated Complications of Older People Identified Using Diagnosis Procedure Combination Data From an Acute Care Hospital in Japan: Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A composite outcome of hospital-associated complications of older people (HAC-OP; comprising functional decline, delirium, incontinence, falls, and pressure injuries) has been proposed as an outcome measure reflecting quality of acute hospital care. Estimating HAC-OP from routinely collected administrative data could facilitate the rapid and standardized evaluation of interventions in the clinical setting, thereby supporting the development, improvement, and wider implementation of effective interventions.

Objective

This study aimed to create a Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) data version of the HAC-OP measure (HAC-OP-DPC) and demonstrate its predictive validity by assessing its associations with hospital length of stay (LOS) and discharge destination.
