Utilization of Rehabilitation Services After Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy Diagnosis: A Retrospective Cohort Assessment in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate utilization and timing of rehabilitation services for patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM).

Methods

This was a retrospective analysis of US patients in the TriNetX dataset. Patients were defined by at least 2 IIM International Classification of Diseases, 9th/10th revision (ICD-9/10) codes between 1 and 12 months apart with at least 1 year of preceding data (from prior non-IIM ICD codes or Current Procedural Terminology [CPT] codes). Recurrent event modeling was performed from first IIM ICD code to the event of a CPT code for physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and speech language pathology (SLP). Analysis was adjusted for the following potential confounders: age at first IIM ICD code, sex, IIM diagnosis subtype, stroke
