Identifying Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn within a Large Integrated Health Care System.
Objective: This study aims to identify hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) pregnancies using electronic health records (EHRs) from a large integrated health care system.
Study design: A retrospective cohort study was performed among pregnant patients receiving obstetrical care at Kaiser Permanente Southern California health care system between January 1, 2008, and June 30, 2022. Using structured (diagnostic/procedural codes, medication, and laboratory records) and unstructured (clinical notes analyzed via natural language processing) data abstracted from EHRs, we extracted HDFN-specific "indicators" (maternal positive antibody test and abnormal antibody titer, maternal/infant HDFN diagnosis and blood transfusion, hydrops fetalis, infant intravenous immunoglobulin [IVIG] treatment, jaundice/phototherapy, and first administrated Rho[D] Immune Globulin) to identify potential HDFN pregnancies. Chart reviews and adjudication were then performed on select combinations of indicators for case ascertainment. HDFN due to ABO alloimmunization alone was excluded. The HDFN frequency and proportion of each combination were fully analyzed.
Results: Among the 464,711 eligible pregnancies, a total of 136 pregnancies were confirmed as HDFN pregnancies. The percentage of the HDFN-specific indicators ranged from 0.02% (infant IVIG treatment) to 34.53% (infant jaundice/phototherapy) among the eligible pregnancies, and 32.35% (infant IVIG treatment) to 100% (maternal positive antibody test) among the 136 confirmed HDFN pregnancies. Four combination groups of four indicators, four combination groups of five indicators, and the unique combination of six indicators showed 100% of HDFN pregnancies, while 80.88% of confirmed HDFN pregnancies had the indicator combination of maternal positive antibody test, maternal/infant HDFN diagnosis, and infant jaundice/phototherapy.
Conclusion: We successfully identified HDFN pregnancies by leveraging a combination of medical indicators extracted from structured and unstructured data that may be used in future pharmacoepidemiologic studies. Traditional indicators (positive antibody test results, high titers, and clinical diagnosis codes) alone did not accurately identify HDFN pregnancies, highlighting an unmet need for improved practices in HDFN coding.
Key points: · A case ascertainment method was developed to identify HDFN from structured and unstructured data.. · The method used in this study may be used in future pharmacoepidemiologic studies.. · The study highlighted an unmet need for improved practices in HDFN coding..
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
