Abstract
⺠We examine algorithms that improve identification of true GBS cases in claims data. ⺠Only 29% of patients with ICD-9 code 357.0 were confirmed cases of GBS. ⺠Inpatient GBS code (primary position) and neurology visit gave highest PPV (70%). ⺠Leading algorithm performs similarly in 4 different claims environments.
