Observational evidence related to the disease is limited by small case cohorts. We aimed to evaluate the validity of specialist-specific diagnostic coding for DM in an outpatient clinical database.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Adults having an outpatient encounter between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2023, at a US regional health system with ICD-9/-10 coding for DM were identified. We randomly sampled 156 patients with ≥1 code applied by a dermatologist or rheumatologist. The primary reference standard for case adjudication was a confirmed diagnosis of DM by the treating physician in the medical chart. Fulfilment of the 2017 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR) criteria for \"probable\" or \"definite\" DM was used as a secondary, more stringent reference standard. Positive predictive values (PPVs) for several case definitions were calculated with 95% confidence intervals.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among eligible patients, the median age was 51.5 years, and 81% were female. Using the treating physician's diagnosis as reference, PPVs of ≥1 and ≥2 codes applied by a dermatologist were 93.2% (95% CI 82.0-98.3%) and 96.4% (82.2-99.8%), respectively. The PPVs of ≥1 and ≥2 codes from a rheumatologist were 82.0% (77.1-86.9%) and 85.8% (80.6-91.1%), respectively. At least one and at least two codes from a rheumatologist or dermatologist had PPVs of 82.1% (77.3-86.8%) and 85.7% (80.7-90.8%), respectively. The rate of confirmed cases based on EULAR/ACR criteria ranged from 44.9% to 57.1%.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>All tested algorithms yielded an accurate case cohort with high PPV. Studies prioritizing sensitivity may use ≥1 code by dermatology or rheumatology to identify patients with DM.</p>","PeriodicalId":11185,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"216-222"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143045512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
