Mashup Score: 2Validation of administrative claims to identify ultrasound enhancing agent use - Echo Research & Practice - 3 month(s) ago
Background Ultrasound enhancing agents (UEAs) are an invaluable adjunct to stress and transthoracic echocardiography (STE) to improve left ventricular visualization. Despite multiple single center studies evaluating UEA use, investigation into the rates, sources of variation, and outcomes of UEA use on a national level in the United States (US) has been limited by lack of validation of UEA codes for claims analyses. Methods We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study, 2019–2022, using linked multicenter electronic medical record (EMR) data from > 30 health systems linked to all-payor claims data representing > 90% of the US population. Individuals receiving STE in both EMR and claims data on the same day during the study window were included. UEA receipt as identified by presence of a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) or National Drug Code (NDC) for UEA use within 1-day of the index STE event. We evaluated the performance of claims to identify UEA use, using EMR data as the g

Mashup Score: 1Comparing Costs of Non-invasive Cardiac Diagnostic Tests – a Population-based Study - 6 month(s) ago
Non-invasive cardiac diagnostic tests for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (NIT) have been estimated to cost > $3 billion annually in the United States alone and have undergone recent scrutiny over concerns of overuse. Consequently, comparing costs of different NIT testing strategies is of urgent importance to healthcare planning.
