To examine the practice patterns and predictors of VTE prophylaxis following radical prostatectomy (RP).This was a population-based observational study of 94,709 men with a diagnosis of prostate cancer (ICD-9 code 185) who underwent RP were identified from a hospital-based database from 2000 to...
ICD-9 coding for MIRP increased markedly in the later years, which may be influenced by both a true increase in utilization and the introduction of a specific secondary code for robotic surgery in 2008. In the 10 state cohort in 2009, MIRP was performed in 66.4% of 27,399 cases. There...
The study cohort comprised all BPH hospitalization registries (ICD10 D299 and N40) from male patients and aged 40 years and over. Patients were uniquely identified by the following parameters: date of birth, postal code, gender and ethnicity. Deterministic registry matching was applied. Costs were...
The effect of minimally invasive prostatectomy on practice patterns of American urologists. Urol Oncol. 2016; 34: 255.e1-5. doi: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2016.01.008.Oberlin DT, Flum AS, Lai JD, Meeks JJ. The effect of minimally invasive pros- tatectomy on practice patterns of American urologists...
Since there is no ICD-9 procedure code specific to LRP, these patients were identified by an abdominal laparoscopic procedure code. Comparison was made between LRP patients and RRP coded alone. Covariates included age, gender, race, co-morbidity measures, insurance status, median household income ...
Using ICD-9 procedural coding, patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer were identified. Prostatectomy was classified as MIRP based on the presence of a secondary code for laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Demographic and socioeconomic variables assessed were age, race, insurance ...
H. Lavery, D. Samadi, and A. Levinson, "Not a zero- sum game: the adoption of robotics has increased overall prostatectomy utilization in the united states," in Proceedings of the American Urological Association Annual Meeting, Poster Session, Washington, DC, USA, 2011....
If the primary diagnostic code, using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), upon visit to the first admission or the outpatient department, was repeated more than twice, comorbidities were included and verified in our study. We removed ...
Since there is no dedicated current procedural terminology (CPT) code for RASP, the CPT code for RARP (55866) is used by surgeons. To select procedures done for BPO, all cases were filtered by the International Classification of Diseases -9 (ICD-9) codes 600.00-600.90 or ICD-10 N40.00-N...
