Validation of a claims-based algorithm to identify patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension using electronic health record data:

[摘要] This study aimed to validate an algorithm developed to identify chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) among patients with a history of pulmonary embolism. Validation was halted because too few patients had gold-standard evidence of CTEPH in the administrative claims/electronic health records database, suggesting that CTEPH is underdiagnosed.
