Description

Hello, I am conducting a study on the amazing ICD-10 Codes from the Physionet dataset. I am examining a subset of the clinical notes, and I have noticed that some notes do not mention the ICD diagnosis associated with them. For instance a patient could be associated to the hypothermia ICD-10 CM code, but there is no mention of hypothermia in any of the clinical notes associated to them.

How were these codes derived?

Best,
Vanessa

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating how ICD-10 CM codes were derived for the referenced PhysioNet/MIMIC dataset, then compare that process with the hypothermia example. Done means documenting why a code may not appear in the associated clinical notes.
