Identifying obstructive sleep apnea in administrative data: a study of diagnostic accuracy
DI McIsaac, A Gershon, D Wijeysundera… - …, 2015 - pubs.asahq.org
Background: Health administrative (HA) databases are increasingly used to identify surgical
patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for research purposes, primarily using
diagnostic codes. Such means to identify patients with OSA are not validated. The authors
determined the accuracy of case-ascertainment algorithms for identifying patients with OSA
with the use of HA data. Methods: Clinical data derived from an academic health sciences
network within a universal health insurance plan were used as the reference standard. The …
