Overstay Predictor Diagnosis Code Used: Difference between revisions

Line 35:

===Other Codes used (admit and comorbid)===

Generally we don't want comorbids for this analysis because it is assumed that the patient was able to cope with the condition from home. However, apparently dementia having progressed to a non-functioning level is often the reason why a patient is hard to discharge. Therefore, the following being present as either Admit or Comorbidity are also included:

*526 [[Dementia]]

*528 [[Violent behavior 2nd to dementia]]

Line 40:

Line 41:

=== No Acquired Diagnoses! ===

No acquired diagnoses will be included in the analysis; acquire diagnoses would not be available at the time that we need to make this prediction. '''We need to exclude acquired dxs from the dataset given to Rodrigo and provide it again.

~~=== Comorbidity ===~~

Generally we don't want comorbids for this analysis because it is assumed that the patient was able to cope with the condition from home. The only exception is '''[[52600 - Dementia]]'''; apparently dementia having progressed to a non-functioning level is often the reason why a patient is hard to discharge.

~~''' this has not been included in the analysis yet, we need to give Rodrigo new data'''[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 16:15, 2012 July 12 (CDT)~~
