When using EHR data, it is important to validate outcome classification via diagnosis codes. We performed a validation study of 3 approaches ([1] International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) code alone, [2] ICD-10 code + diagnostic procedure, and [3] ICD-10 code + all diagnostic information) to identify incident uterine fibroids and endometriosis patients among n\u00a0=\u00a0750 NYU Langone Health 2016-2023. Chart review was used to determine the true diagnosis status. When using a binary classification system (incident vs nonincident patient), Approaches 2 and 3 had higher positive predictive values (PPVs) for uterine fibroids (0.86 and 0.87 vs 0.78) and for endometriosis (0.70 and 0.73 vs 0.66), but Approach 1 outperformed the other 2 in negative predictive values (NPVs) for both outcomes. When using a 3-level classification system (incident vs prevalent vs disease-free patients), PPV for prevalent patients was low for all approaches, while PPV\/NPV of disease-free patients was generally above 0.8. Using ICD-10 codes alone yielded higher NPVs but resulted in lower PPVs compared with the other approaches. Continued validation of uterine fibroids\/endometriosis EHR studies is warranted to increase research into these understudied gynecologic conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwaf058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,17]],"date-time":"2025-03-17T16:21:46Z","timestamp":1742228506000},"page":"291-299","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Using
