    Abstract
    Background: Large databases provide an efficient way to analyze patient data. A challenge with these databases is the inconsistency of ICD codes and a potential for inaccurate ascertainment of cases. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a reliable protocol to identify cases of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from a large national database. Methods: Using the national Veterans Affairs electronic health-record system, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and National Death Index data, we developed an algorithm to identify cases of AIS. Using a combination of inpatient and outpatient ICD9 codes, we selected cases of AIS and controls from 1992 to 2014. Diagnoses determined after medical-chart review were considered the gold standard. We used a machine-learning algorithm and a neural network approach to identify AIS from ICD9 codes and electronic health-record information and compared it with a previous rule-based stroke-classification algorithm. Results: We reviewed administrative hospital data, ICD9 codes, and medical records of 268 patients in detail. Compared with the gold standard, this AIS algorithm had a sensitivity of 91%, specificity of 95%, and positive predictive value of 88%. A total of 80,508 highly likely cases of AIS were identified using the algorithm in the Veterans Affairs national cardiovascular disease-risk cohort (n=2,114,458). Conclusion: Our algorithm had high specificity for identifying AIS in a nationwide electronic health-record system. This approach may be utilized in other electronic health databases to accurately identify patients with AIS. Copyright 2018 Imran et al.
