Multicenter StudyAssessing the use of international classification of diseases-10th revision codes from the emergency department for the identification of acute heart failure.
The objective of this study was to compare administrative codes with chart review for patients with acute heart failure (AHF). ⋯ An ICD-10 I50.x diagnosis in the ED is highly predictive of AHF compared with chart-level adjudication using a validated score. Thus, the use of these codes in ED administrative databases could identify AHF for clinical and epidemiological studies.
