Pneumonia Hospitalization Coding Changes Associated With Transition From the 9th to 10th Revision of International Classification of Diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the impact of International Classification of Disease, 10th revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) implementation on pneumonia hospitalizations rates, which had declined following pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction for infants in 2000.

Methods

We randomly selected records from a single hospital 1 year before (n = 500) and after (n = 500) October 2015 implementation of ICD-10-CM coding. We used a validated ICD-9-CM algorithm and translation of that algorithm to ICD-10-CM to identify pneumonia hospitalizations pre- and post-implementation, respectively. We recoded ICD-10-CM records to ICD-9-CM and vice versa. We calculated sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of the ICD-10-CM
