The agreement between chronic diseases reported by patients and derived from administrative data in patients undergoing joint arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study examined the agreement between patient-reported chronic diseases and hospital administrative records in hip or knee arthroplasty patients in England.

Methods

Survey data reported by 676,428 patients for the English Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) programme was linked to hospital administrative data. Sensitivity and specificity of 11 patient-reported chronic diseases were estimated with hospital administrative data as reference standard.

Results

Specificity was high (> 90%) for all 11 chronic diseases. However, sensitivity varied by disease with the highest found for 'diabetes' (87.5%) and 'high blood pressure' (74.3%) and lowest for 'kidney disease' (18.8%) and 'leg pain due to poor circulation' (26.1%). Sensitivity was increased for di
