Conclusions ICD‐10 codes for acute sinusitis, when paired with a same‐day antibiotic prescription, have a high positive predictive value among a cohort of pediatric patients, suggesting that they can be used to study new acute bacterial sinusitis diagnoses with claims....
Introduction: On one hand (according to EPOS 2012) we should diagnosed the rhinosinusitis (RS) in every common cold case, on another hand (according to ICD-10) 鈥 the diagnosis "sinusitis"(S) is actual still. There aren't comparative data about causative agents (bacteriums or viruses) ...
Cases were identified based on International Classification of Diseases diagnostic codes (ICD)-9 and ICD-10 depending on the year and by reviewing all intracranial microbiologic samples.A total of 104 cases of complicated sinusitis were included after review of 1591 charts. Median age was 12 (IQR...
Cases were identified based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 diagnostic codes (intracranial abscess or granuloma, extradural and subdural abscess, Pott's puffy tumor, acute or chronic sinusitis) and by reviewing all microbiological samples of intracranial pus, tissue or fluid. ...
METHODS. Outpatient encounters for sinusitis in adult and pediatric primary care practices within two health systems with an antibiotic prescribed from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2021 were identified by ICD-10 code (J01 and J32). Of these, 600 encounters were randomly selected for review (...
Antibiotic prescriptions were identified and associated with ICD-10 codes for acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis, group A streptococcal pharyngitis, UTI, and pyelonephritis. Guideline concordance between prescriber types was compared using chi-square tests. RESULTS. 137,960 prescriptions were included in...
However, due to the overlap between symptoms of acute sinusitis and viral upper respiratory infections, antibiotics are often over-prescribed.#Objectives:Currently, there are no electronic health record (EHR)-based methods, such as lab tests or ICD-10 codes, to retroactively assess the ...
Sinusitis cases were identified using ICD9 codes 461 and 473. National estimates were obtained using assigned patient visit weights and rates as reported per 1,000 US population. Ninety-five percent CI were calculated using the relative standard error of the estimate; data analysis used chi-...
