Abstract
This study introduces and validates an ICD-9-CM-based diagnostic algorithm for the diagnosis of anaphylaxis to capture subjects missed by using the ICD-9-CM anaphylaxis codes. Fifty-eight percent of anaphylaxis cases would be missed without the use of the algorithm, including 88% of venom-induced cases.
