A cardiovascular mortality algorithm applied to administrative health records had moderate validity when compared to vital statistics data. Substantial variation existed across study sites representing different geographic locations and two healthcare systems. These variations may reflect different diagnostic coding practices and healthcare utilization patterns. Read the paper at https://bmchealth
This commentary provides a practical perspective on epidemiological analysis within a single high-dimensional study of moderate size to consider a causal question. Read the paper at https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/50/3/1016/6140018
The value of accurate healthcare data has never been more apparent than during the past year, and there is increasing recognition of the important role surgical registries play in driving improved patient outcomes, patient safety, and academic research. Successful registries need to be responsive and adapt to the rapidly changing clinical environment. Read the paper at https://academic.oup.com/bjs
