Breaking ICD Codes: Identifying Ambiguous Respiratory Infection Codes via Regional Diagnosis Heterogeneity.
Ann Fam Med

Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Metabolic Diseases, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poznań, Poland.
Purpose: We aimed to analyze regional variations in the assignment of (ICD-10) codes to acute respiratory infections, seeking to identify notable anomalies that suggest diverse diagnoses of the same condition.
Methods: We analyzed national weekly diagnosis data for acute respiratory infections (ICD-10 codes J00-J22) in Poland from 2010 to 2019, covering all 380 county-equivalent administrative regions and encompassing 292 million consultations. Data were aggregated into age brackets.
German recommendations for the diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA), were last published in 2007 [1]. The current S2k Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) replaces these diagnostic recommendations. They were supplemented by the aspect of chronic, and in particular of the chronic fibrotic phenotype of HP, and also, as first HP guideline, include treatment recommendations.

Cardiology, Riverside Community Hospital, Riverside, USA.
Background: Methamphetamine abuse is a public health problem across the world, and the cardiovascular system experiences a significant effect on the myocardium over time. Methamphetamine is a common cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The prevalence and risk factors for HFpEF and HFrEF in this patient population remain unclear.

Department of Neurology, Seoul Hospital, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Introduction: The global burden of gout, a severe and painful arthralgia, is of note and is expected to increase in the future. We aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) ratio, a simple and validated biomarker for insulin resistance, and the incidence of gout in a longitudinal setting in the general population.
Methods: Our study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort database of Republic of Korea (2002-2019).
The added value of ECG abnormalities in predicting incident cardiovascular disease risk for people with type 2 diabetes: The Hoorn Diabetes Care System cohort.
Eur J Prev Cardiol
January 2025
Amsterdam UMC location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Department of General Practice Medicine, De Boelelaan 1117, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Aims: To investigate if adding ECG abnormalities as a predictor improves the performance of incident CVD-risk prediction models for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: We evaluated the four major prediction models that are recommended by the guidelines of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology, in 11,224 people with T2D without CVD (coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, thrombosis) from the Hoorn Diabetes Care System cohort (1998-2018). Baseline measurements included CVD-risk factors and ECG recordings coded according to the Minnesota Classification as no, minor or major abnormalities.
