A general limitation of using state and federal administrative hospital discharge databases is the potential misclassification of both diagnoses and procedures which are typically coded using ICD-9-CM. While the accuracy of the ICD-9-CM coding of various diseases and syndromes, such as breast cancer, acute myocardial infarction and preeclampsia, in hospital claims data has been reported,36 ,37 to our knowledge there are no published findings which summarise both the sensitivity and positive predictive value of the ICD-9-CM coding of all-cause anaphylaxis in the records of children and adults found in hospital inpatient databases.38 Clark et al27 investigated the ICD-9-CM coding of emergency department visits for food and insect sting allergy. Similar investigations of anaphylaxis coding found in hospital inpatient discharge datasets would be welcome.
In summary, in this unique exploratory analysis of a large database, we examined the association between chronic pulmonary diseases and four indicators of anaphylaxis severity in hospitalised patients. We found that asthma, COPD and other chronic pulmonary diseases increased the risk of adverse outcomes among hospitalised patients with anaphylaxis.
