Use of electronic healthcare records to identify complex patients with atrial fibrillation for targeted intervention.
The researchers tested algorithms for identifying atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who also have known risk factors for stroke and major bleeding using electronic healthcare records (EHRs) data. The performance of candidate algorithms in 1000 bootstrap resamples was compared to a gold standard of manual chart review by experienced resident physicians of 480 patient charts. For 11 conditions, the median positive predictive value of the EHR-derived algorithms was greater than 0.90.
