If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.

Abstract

Administrative database provides valuable information for large cohort studies, especially when tissue diagnosis is rather difficult such as the diagnosis for bile duct cancer (BDC).

Introduction

Bile duct cancer (BDC) is more prevalent in Asian countries, including China, Vietnam, and Korea, than that in Western countries [1]. The incidence of BDC has increased in recent years. It is the 6th most common cause of cancer-related mortality in Korea [2]. However, its risk factors and prognostic factors remain unclear [3].

Methods

Patients with BDC and controls were collected using Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) Clinical Data Warehouse (CDW) from May 1, 2003 to December 31, 2016 [12]. Patients with BDC were identified in the administrative database by ICD-10 codes.

Results

A total of 1707 patients were identified by ICD-10 codes as having BDC at SNUBH during the study period ( Table 2, Fig. 1 ). Among BDCs, ICC was the most common one [770 (45.1%) patients], followed by ECC [608 (35.6%) patients] and AVC [235 (13.8%) patients].

Discussion

Our study demonstrated that diagnostic accuracy of administrative database for BDC by ICD-10 code, supported by V code in the NHIS database, was very high. Our results also supported the reliability of previous large-cohort studies using administrative databases in Korea [4, 6, 9].
