The biochemical failures were coded by the "Phoenix" definition, or a rise in ≥2 ng/mL above the lowest PSA achieved after treatment, with the actual date of failure coded as the date of the PSA test [ 14].
Our results also show that there has been a 64% increase in admissions with acute renal failure coded as either a primary or secondary diagnosis in 2010 compared to 2005.
The results of the efforts are given (failure) codes.
Cirrhosis was classified as uncomplicated, with varices, with ascites, or with encephalopathy or liver failure coded.
Similarly, we identified the diagnoses of acute renal failure (Codes 584.5, 584.6, 584.7, 584.8 and 584.9) and acute hepatic failure (Codes 570, 573.3, 572.2, 572.4, 782.4 and 286.7) during the hospital stay using previously described code combinations [ 28, 29].
To maximize power, renal failure was a composite outcome including all chronic kidney disease codes and ESKD, and any renal complication included both renal failure codes and ESKD codes.
That is, assays were not possible for 66% of the target SNPs because of flanking SNPs and indels in the assay design region (failure code 106).
For instance, cardiac arrest (code I46), heart failure (code I50), sudden death (code R96), and unattended death (code R98) could very well be attributed to CHD as to other conditions, depending on ones individual medical history.
In addition, data were available for coronary artery disease (ICD-10 codes I20, I21, I22, I23, and I24), stroke (codes I63, I64, G45, and G46), peripheral artery disease (code I73.9), and heart failure (code I50).
The occurrence of vascular endpoints was identified from the principal discharge diagnoses using the ICD-9 codes including fatal or non-fatal CHD (codes 410-414); congestive heart failure (code 428), all stroke [fatal or non-fatal] (codes 430-438), haemorrhagic stroke (codes 430-432), istrokeicodesoke (codes 433-435) or coronary revascularization (codes 36.0-36.1).
