Use of ICD-9-CM coding for identifying antibiotic prescriptions during hospitalization: a Delphi consensus model

Agnese Comelli et al. Infect Prev Pract. .

Abstract

A Delphi consensus-seeking procedure was conducted to validate a list of ICD-9-CM codes that could help identify hospital admissions in which antimicrobials are more likely to be prescribed. The panel agreed to include 2967 codes out of 16229 (18.28%). Such codes could support AMS strategies by large-scale monitoring of drug consumption.

Keywords: AMS; Antimicrobial prescription; ICD9-CM.
