ABSTRACT
We investigated the validity of the 10th Revision Canadian modification of International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems (ICD-10-CA) diagnostic codes for surgery for benign gynaecologic conditions in the Canadian Institute for Health Information Discharge Abstract Database (CIHI-DAD), the main source of routinely collected data in Canada. Reabstracted data from patient charts was compared to ICD-10-CA codes and measures of validity were calculated with 95% confidence intervals. A total of 1068 procedures were identified. More objective, structural diagnoses (fibroids, prolapse) had higher sensitivity and near-perfect Kappa coefficients, while more subjective, symptomatic diagnoses (abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain) had lower sensitivity and moderate-substantial Kappa coefficients. Specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values were generally high for all diagnoses. These findings support the use of CIHI-DAD data for gynaecologic research.
