OBJECTIVES
This study attempts to develop a comprehensive set of comorbidity measures for use with large administrative inpatient datasets.
METHODS
The study involved clinical and empirical review of comorbidity measures, development of a framework that attempts to segregate comorbidities from other aspects of the patient's condition, development of a comorbidity algorithm, and testing on heterogeneous and homogeneous patient groups. Data were drawn from all adult, nonmaternal inpatients from… CONTINUE READING
