Acute Disease

Acute Disease: A rapid-onset, severe, and typically short-term medical condition that requires prompt attention.
This may include infectious diseases, traumatic injuries, and other health problems that develop suddenly and have the potential for serious complications if not properly managed.
Effective research and treatment approaches are crucial to address the unique challenges posed by acute diseases and improve patient outcomes.

We aimed to provide evidence that the ICD-10-CM phecode map resulted in phenotypes like those sourced from the ICD-9-CM phecode map. First, we selected 357,728 patients in the VUMC EHR who had ≥1 ICD-9-CM and ≥1 ICD-10-CM codes in two 18-month windows. We selected windows to occur prior to and after VUMC’s transition to ICD-10-CM. To reduce potential confounders, we left a 6-month buffer after ICD-9-CM was replaced with ICD-10-CM. Further, the ICD-10-CM observation window ended before VUMC switched from its locally developed EHR [27 (link)] to the Epic system. This created two windows ranging from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 for ICD-9-CM, and January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 for ICD-10-CM (Figure 3). The final cohort consisted of 55.10% (197,109/357,728) females with mean age of 45 (SD 25) years old. From the two observation periods, we extracted all ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes for each patient. We then mapped these codes to phecodes using the ICD-9-CM phecode [14 ] and ICD-10-CM phecode maps.
We used the patient cohort to test our hypothesis that the ICD-10-CM phecode map created phenotype definitions that were comparable to those generated using the gold-standard ICD-9-CM phecode map. For this analysis, we used four common chronic diseases (Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Type 1 Diabetes, and Type 2 Diabetes) and chose one acute disease (Intestinal infection) as a negative control. We expected that a large majority of the chronic disease patients and a small minority of the acute disease patients from the ICD-9-CM era would reproduce the same phenotypes during the ICD-10-CM era. We defined the phenotype cases as follows: Hypertension with phecodes 401.* (* means one or more digits or a period); Hyperlipidemia, phecodes 272.*; Type 1 diabetes, phecodes 250.1*; Type 2 diabetes, phecodes 250.2*; Intestinal infection, phecodes 008.*.
For each phenotype, we reported the number of ICD-9-CM cases and the number of those individuals who were also ICD-10-CM cases. To identify the possible reasons for individuals who were not identified as phenotype cases in the ICD-10-CM period, two authors with clinical training (PW, WQW) manually reviewed the EHRs of ten randomly selected patients from each chronic disease group, except Type 1 diabetes, for a total of thirty patients.

Patient data were recorded by using either online data collection software (provided by iMDsoft, Tel Aviv, Israel) or the SAPS 3 stand-alone database system (provided by the CCC). The latter software used a Microsoft Access database (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA) for data storage and needed no Internet connection for data entry. Both systems maintained a variety of plausibility controls to ensure the quality of the recorded data. Each variable was precisely defined before the start of data collection (see Appendix C of the ESM). Detailed definitions of the variables were available to participants in both paper and electronic form. To facilitate plausibility checking, each variable was assigned a probability range, encompassing the range of probable values for that variable. In addition, a range of possible values (storage range) for that variable was defined (e.g., for FiO2, no values <21% or >100% could be accepted). Thus, formal plausibility controls in the software systems were used wherever possible and ensured the maximum of data quality checking during data collection.
Participants who could not use one of the two software options were allowed to record the data on paper forms and submit them to the CCC (n=26 ICUs). Patient data were then entered into the SAPS 3 stand-alone software system and thus checked for plausibility. In cases of uncertainty, ICU coordinators were contacted for clarification.
In addition, each ICU received a questionnaire with detailed questions about ICU structures and about resources available in other areas of the hospital.
Data were collected at ICU admission, on days 1, 2 and 3, and on the last day of the ICU stay. Data from the day of admission (aside from sociodemographic data such as age and sex) were categorized into different levels: (i) data about the condition of the patient before ICU admission, such as chronic conditions and medical diseases; (ii) data about the patient’s condition at ICU admission, such as the reason for admission, infection at admission, and surgical status; and (iii) data about the patient’s physiologic derangement at ICU admission. These data were collected within an hour before or after ICU admission.
On the following days of the ICU stay, further information was collected: severity of illness, as measured by the SAPS II [5 (link)]; number and severity of organ dysfunction, as measured by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) [28 ]; length of ICU and hospital stay; and outcome data, including vital status at ICU and hospital discharge. All patients were subjected to mandatory follow-up until hospital discharge, but not longer than 90 days after ICU admission. Patients still remaining in the hospital at 90 days were at that time classified as being “still in the hospital”.
To record diagnoses, a three-level system was used. (i) An acute medical disease was recorded for all patients, independent of surgical status, i.e., the acute (or acute on chronic) disease that best explained the ICU admission. If the reason for ICU admission was infectious disease, then this was recorded. (ii) Surgical status at admission and the anatomic site of surgery were recorded for all patients undergoing surgery during the hospital stay before ICU admission. (iii) A concrete reason for admission had to be selected. At least one reason for admission was required, but several selections were possible (one within each organ system). If no other reason was present, at least “basic and observational care” had to be selected.
All participants received detailed documentation of patient- and ICU-based data items as well as a detailed description of the data collection process. Moreover, specific forms to check the completeness of the patient-based documentation were provided. Additionally, a training session for ICU coordinators was organised at the 15th Annual Congress of the ESICM in Barcelona, Spain, before the start of data collection. Throughout the project, the project website (http://www.saps3.org) provided all necessary information. In addition, the CCC was available to answer questions by email, fax and phone. Data were to be collected from all consecutively admitted patients between 14 October and 15 December 2002. ICUs with a high number of beds (and thus also admissions) could stop patient enrolment after contributing 100 patients.

Residents of the Worcester metropolitan area (2000 census = 478,000) who were hospitalized with a discharge diagnosis of AMI at all 16 Worcester Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) hospitals during 1975, 1978, 1981, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005 comprised the study population3 (link)–5 (link). In 2000, the median age of residents of the Worcester SMSA was 37 years, 49% were men, 89% were Caucasian, and approximately one quarter had a bachelor’s degree or higher. The periods under study were selected due to the availability of grant funding and for purposes of examining changes in our principal study outcomes over an approximate alternate year basis. All hospitals in the Worcester SMSA participated in this study. Originally, there were 16 health care facilities that were canvassed; in more recent years, fewer hospitals (n=11) have been providing care to greater Worcester residents due to hospital closures, mergers, or conversion to long-term care or rehabilitation facilities. Of the current 11 hospitals, 3 are considered to be tertiary care/university based medical centers. Approximately three quarters of patients with confirmed AMI had been hospitalized at these tertiary care medical centers over the years under study with little change in this proportion noted over time.
The details of this study have been described elsewhere3 (link)–5 (link). In brief, the medical records of residents of the Worcester SMSA who had been hospitalized for possible AMI were individually reviewed and validated according to predefined diagnostic criteria. These criteria included a clinical history of prolonged chest pain not relieved by rest or use of nitrates, serum levels of various biomarkers in excess of the upper limit of normal as specified by the laboratory at each greater Worcester hospital, and serial electrocardiographic tracings during hospitalization showing changes in the ST segment and/or Q waves typical of AMI. At least 2 of these 3 criteria needed to be satisfied for study inclusion. Cases of perioperative-associated AMI were not included. Persons hospitalized at any of the greater Worcester medical centers who did not reside in the Worcester metropolitan area were not included in the study sample.
The present sample was restricted to patients with an initial AMI since we were interested in describing the clinical features and epidemiology of acute coronary disease in patients with a first clinical manifestation of underlying coronary atherosclerosis. Patients with a first MI were defined as those in which either mention was made in the review of the hospital charts that this was the patient’s first admission for a MI or the review of prior medical records and electrocardiograms failed to indicate the occurrence of a previous MI.

Data were derived from the 2008 National Health Services Survey (NHSS), which has been organised by the Chinese Ministry of Health (MoH) every fifth year since 1993. The surveys were carried out from mid-June till mid-July, and face-to-face interviews were conducted by trained local interviewers [45 ]. The NHSS 2008 questionnaire includes more than 200 questions, on acute diseases and injuries, chronic and other diseases, hospitalisation, health-related behaviour, educational level, family income and employment status, social relations, safety and security, medical care fees, accessibility (distance and time) and satisfaction with health service, insurance coverage, vaccination and disease control, woman and child health services. In 2008, the EQ-5D was included for the first time.
In NHSS 2008, 56,400 households were sampled using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling [46 ]. In the first sample stage, 2,400 counties were stratified based on socio-economic, health care and population structure to sample 94 counties. In the second stage, 2,350 streets (urban area) and townships (rural area) in the 94 counties were stratified based on population size and income per capita to sample 470 streets and townships. In the third stage, 940 residential committees (urban area) and villages (rural area) were sampled using the same criteria as in the second stage. In each residential committee or village, 60 households were randomly selected, and all family members in a sampled household were interviewed individually. EQ-5D was asked among persons aged 15 years and over, and no upper-age limit was applied. However, the instrument can be used in younger age groups, and the newly developed child-friendly version of the EQ-5D, named EQ-5D-Y [47 (link), 48 ], is available in some language versions, but not yet in Chinese. Hence, persons aged under 15 years were not included in this study.
In total, 177,501 respondents were included in NHSS 2008. Of these, about 18% aged below 15 years were excluded, since EQ-5D questions should only be administered to respondents aged 15 years and over. Respondents not answering the questions by themselves were excluded (13%). In total, less than 2% of the respondents had missing answers on age, sex, in at least one of the EQ-5D dimensions, on VAS or reported VAS higher than 100. After applying the previous exclusion criteria, 120,703 respondents were included in this study.
Ethical permission was granted by the Regional ethics committee, Stockholm, Sweden, for analyses of this study (Dnr: 2009/1892–31).

This clinical-based cross-sectional study included outpatients with T2DM being under treatment at the referral diabetes clinic of Sayad Shirazi hospital in Gorgan in 2021. The sample size was calculated based on this formula: N = (pq/e2) * z1−/α2. Here, p was the anticipation of anemia prevalence of 19.6% in the diabetic population, [14 ] q = 1 - p; e was an allowable error (5%); and Z1−α/2= 1.96. So, 242 participants were an acceptable sample size for this study.
To mitigate selection bias, patients were selected by a systematic random sampling technique among volunteer patients with T2DM. In this method, the selection of the first subject is done randomly and then the subsequent subjects are selected by a periodic process.
The exclusion criteria were: (1) age ≤ 18 or ≥ 75 years, (2) T2DM duration less than 1 year (3) known hematologic diseases (thalassemia, lymphoma, and leukemia) or other systemic disorders (such as infectious diseases) that could result in anemia, (4) presence of an acute condition (such as acute bleeding) or hospitalization within the last two weeks before sampling, (5) blood transfusions in the three months before sampling, (6) pregnancy, (7) type 1 DM, (8) smoking, (9) missing clinical and demographic data. Finally, 415 (109 men) eligible participants remained for our analysis.
The Ethics Committee of the Golestan University of Medical Sciences approved this study (ethics Code: IR.GOUMS.REC.1398.170). Verbal informed consent was obtained from all subjects, and they were also assured that their personal information would remain confidential. All methods of this study were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
