•0 -- unspecified; •1 -- mild; •2 -- moderate; •3 -- severe; or •4 -- indeterminate. Staging is not required in all glaucoma coding, but when it is, it is indicated under the category code. With the addition of laterality and staging, the sheer number of glaucoma cod...
Methods: From a single comprehensive stroke center, we randomly selected 200 stroke hospitalizations with a primary discharge I63 ICD10 code; 100 had non-specific/unspecified vascular location subcodes, and 100 had specific vascular location subcodes oversampled for posterior circulation strokes. Gold-...
