Background

Transition from International Classification of Diseases ( ICD) Ninth and Tenth Revisions ( ICD‐9 and ICD‐10) for hospital discharge data was mandated for US hospitals on October 1, 2015.

Methods and Results

During the ICD‐10 period, 2 case identification strategies were used. Codes for IS were combined with: (1) only the ICD‐10 code for thrombolytic given into a peripheral vein and (2) all new ICD‐10 codes mapped to the ICD‐9 code for all thrombolysis.

Conclusions

The significant discontinuity in thrombolysis volumes for IS during the transition period for ICD‐9 to ICD‐10 coding suggests that more rigorous validation of US administrative data during this time period may be necessary for research, resource planning, and quality assurance.

Methods and Results

We utilized 2015 to 2016 data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), a publicly available data set sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. It provides a weighted 20% sample of all‐payer inpatient US hospital discharges.

Table 1. US Hospital Discharges for Patients With Ischemic Stroke 2015 to 2016

Numbers reflect sampled discharges (national estimates are shown in bracket). IS indicates ischemic stroke; N/A, not applicable.

Discussion

We examined the volume of patients with IS undergoing IVT captured using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding within a 20% sample of all US discharges at the time of transition from ICD‐9 to ICD‐10.
