General surgeon involvement in the care of patients designated with an American Association for the Surgery of Trauma-endorsed ICD-10-CM emergency general surgery diagnosis code in Wisconsin.
The authors sought to: (1) translate previously-developed ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes representing emergency general surgery (EGS) conditions to ICD-10-CM codes and (2) determine the national burden of and assess surgeon involvement across EGS conditions. They found that, of the seven most common EGS diagnoses, surgeon involvement was highest for appendicitis and biliary tract disease. For the other five most common conditions, surgeons were involved in roughly 20% of patient care episodes.
