The best algorithm for identifying these transplants utilized hospital procedural codes from the Canadian Institute for Health Information Discharge Abstract Database. Compared to transplant center records, these codes demonstrated a sensitivity of 91% (95% CI: 89\u201393) and PPV of 93% (95% CI: 91\u201395) when including all organ types, and performed similarly well when evaluating individual organ types.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong> \u2014 This study is the first to validate administrative data for identifying pediatric solid organ transplant recipients, demonstrating the reliability of procedural codes for population-level health research in this domain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background \u2014 Health administrative datasets have the potential to provide valuable insights into pediatric solid organ transplantation; however, validation is necessary to ensure their accuracy.
