The Use of International Classification of Diseases Codes to Identify Patients with Pancreatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHospital discharge codes are increasingly used in gastroenterology research, but their accuracy in the setting of acute pancreatitis (AP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP), one of the most frequent digestive diseases, has never been assessed systematically. The aim was to conduct a systematic literature review and determine accuracy of diagnostic codes for AP and CP, as well as the effect of covariates.
methodsThree databases (Pubmed, EMBASE and Scopus) were searched by two independent reviewers for relevant studies that used International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes. Summary estimates of sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value were obtained from bivariate random-effects regression models. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses according to recurrence of AP and age of the study population were performed.
resultsA total of 24 cohorts encompassing 18,106 patients were included. The pooled estimates of sensitivity and specificity of ICD codes for AP were 0.85 and 0.96, respectively. The pooled estimates of sensitivity and specificity of ICD codes for CP were 0.75 and 0.94, respectively. The positive predictive value of ICD codes was 0.71 for either AP or CP. It increased to 0.78 when applied to incident episode of AP only. The positive predictive value decreased to 0.68 when the ICD codes were applied to paediatric patients.
conclusionNearly three out of ten patients are misidentified as having either AP or CP with the indiscriminate use of ICD codes. Limiting the use of ICD codes to adult patients with incident episode of AP may improve identification of patients with pancreatitis in administrative databases.
