OBJECTIVE: To appraise the authority of, characterize the acceptance of, and adduce abeyant assay applications for International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) tobacco codes in analytic populations.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using abstracts on blight cases and cancer-free controls from Vanderbilt's biorepository, BioVU, we evaluated the account of ICD-9 tobacco use codes to analyze ever-smokers in accepted and aerial smoker prevalence (lung cancer) dispensary populations. We adjourned abeyant biases in documentation, and performed banausic assay apropos transitions amid smoker codes to smoker abeyance attempts. We additionally advised the adequacy of these codes for use in abiogenetic affiliation analyses.
RESULTS: ICD-9 tobacco use codes can analyze smokers in a accepted dispensary citizenry (specificity of 1, acuteness of 0.32), and there is little affirmation of affidavit bias. Frequency of cipher transitions amid 'current' and 'former' tobacco use was decidedly activated with antecedent success at smoker abeyance (p<0.0001). Finally, code-based smoker cachet appointment is a commensurable covariate to text-based smoker cachet for abiogenetic affiliation studies.
DISCUSSION: Our after-effects abutment the use of ICD-9 tobacco use codes for anecdotic smokers in a analytic population. Furthermore, with some limitations, these codes are acceptable for acclimation of smoker cachet in abiogenetic studies utilizing cyberbanking bloom records.
CONCLUSIONS: Researchers should not be beat by the dearth of full-text annal to actuate smoker cachet if they accept ICD-9 cipher histories.
