Robustness of prevalence estimates derived from misclassified data from administrative databases.
TLDR
It is found that the prevalence estimates for OA vary widely, depending on the model used and assumptions made, and any inferences from these databases need to be interpreted with great caution, until further work estimating the reliability of database items is carried out.
Administrative Databases Provide Inaccurate Data for Surveillance of Long-Term Central Venous Catheter-Associated Infections
TLDR
Current administrative databases are not ready to be used for electronic surveillance of CVC-associated complications without extensive modification and validation.
Primer: administrative health databases in observational studies of drug effects—advantages and disadvantages
TLDR
It is shown that issues relating to the duration of drug use, immortal time, depletion of susceptibles and overadjustment were problematic sources of bias in these studies and remedies to avoid these pitfalls are discussed.
Comparison of Clinical and Administrative Data Sources for Hospital Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Report Cards
TLDR
Cardiac surgery report cards using administrative data are problematic compared with those derived from audited and validated clinical data, primarily because of case misclassification and nonstandardized end points.

Between 1980 and 1986, Medicare discharges for DRG 416 (Septicemia Age greater than or equal to 18) increased dramatically in Iowa. The rate rose most steeply between 1983 and 1984. Relative…
Enhancement of claims data to improve risk adjustment of hospital mortality.
TLDR
This study supports the value of adding present on admission codes and numerical laboratory values to administrative databases and shows that secondary abstraction of difficult-to-obtain key clinical findings adds little to the predictive power of risk-adjustment equations.

TLDR
It is shown that this representative administrative database of hospital admissions in the State of Maryland is significantly flawed and the pitfalls of research based solely on these need to be recognized.

Validity of rheumatoid arthritis diagnoses in the Danish National Patient Registry
TLDR
The conclusion is that with careful attention to the limitations in the data, discharge diagnoses for patients with records of RA in the Danish NPR can be used for epidemiological research purposes; however, general carefulness is prompt when using non-audited registries for research in RA.
