Utilising International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Conditions (ICD)-10 Australian Modification Classifications of "Health Conditions" to Achieve Population Health Surveillance in an Australian Spinal Cord Injury Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Retrospective, non-randomised, registry controlled.

Objective

To develop a conceptual ICD-10 taxonomic framework for population health surveillance across all-phases of spinal cord injury and disorders (SCI/D).

Setting

Public Hospital Admitted Patient Care (APC) collection, South Australian Dept. Health, South Australia, Australia.

Methods

A core ICD-10-Australian Modification (AM) coded dataset was retrieved from the APC hospital patient admission collection (2012-2017). Search filters and key words referenced to the National Library of Medicine thesaurus identified and quantified incident SCI/D cases. Incident SCI/D case data held in the Australian Spinal Cord Injury Registry (ASCIR) of South Australia (2012-2017) tested fidelity. Data linkage to
