With the recent advances in natural language processing and deep learning, the development of tools that can assist medical coders in ICD-10 diagnosis coding and increase their efficiency in coding discharge summaries is significantly more viable than before. To that end, one important component in the development of these models is the datasets used to train them. In this study, such datasets are presented, and it is shown that one of them can be used to develop a BERT-based language model that can consistently perform well in assigning ICD-10 codes to discharge summaries written in Swedish. Most importantly, it can be used in a coding support setup where a tool can recommend potential codes to the coders. This reduces the range of potential codes to consider and, in turn, reduces the workload of the coder. Moreover, the de-identified and pseudonymised dataset is open to use for academic users.

Presurgical anxiety and acute postsurgical pain predict worse chronic pain profiles after total knee/hip arthroplasty.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), School of Medicine, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, Braga, 4710-057, Portugal.
Introduction: Total joint arthroplasties generally achieve good outcomes, but chronic pain and disability are a significant burden after these interventions. Acknowledging relevant risk factors can inform preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify chronic pain profiles 6 months after arthroplasty using the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases) classification and to find pre and postsurgical predictors of these profiles.

Background: The lack of attention to Chronic Hand Eczema (CHE) and the lack of a specific International Classification of Diseases code for CHE may have limited the assessment of CHE prevalence. To date, prevalence estimates have primarily been derived from (partly small) single-country studies.
Objectives: To estimate the annual prevalence of self-reported physician-diagnosed CHE across socio-demographic characteristics among adults in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom (UK).

Health Services Research, Faculty of Health, School of Medicine, Witten/Herdecke University, Witten, Germany.
Objective: Various demographic factors, including sex, socioeconomic status, and immigration status, have been linked to disparities in healthcare outcomes. Despite efforts by healthcare providers to address these inequities, interventions are not always effective. The present investigation provides empirical insights from Germany focusing on patients with systemic connective tissue disorders, highlighting the need for evaluated strategies to mitigate healthcare disparities.

Background: We aimed to develop and validate an algorithm for identifying women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in the French national health data system.
Methods: Using data from the French national health data system, we applied the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) related diagnoses E28.2 for PCOS among women aged 18 to 43 years in 2021.
Validation of ICD-10 diagnostic coding for influenza in the Danish National Patient Registry.
Ann Epidemiol

. Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.
Background: The accuracy of recorded diagnosis codes for hospital admissions due to influenza in the Danish national registries is uncertain. We evaluated positive predictive value (PPV) and sensitivity of ICD-10 codes for influenza by comparing to the reference standard of influenza test results.
Methods: Hospital admissions were assessed in the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR), and influenza test results in the Danish Microbiology Database (MiBa).
