OA cases required two OA codes at least 30 days apart, while controls were excluded based on codes for conditions more common in OA patients, such as chondrocalcinosis and crystal arthropathies. Manual chart reviews identified documented OA mentions and joint replacements. Cohen\u2019s kappa statistic assessed agreement. Discrepancies between chart data and coding were re-evaluated through re-abstraction.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Among 213 veterans, 174 (82%) had chart-documented OA. Agreement between chart review and code-based general OA identification was moderate (kappa = 0.47). Joint-specific agreement was substantial for knee (kappa = 0.63) and hip OA (kappa = 0.59), but lower for spine (kappa = 0.16) and hand (kappa = 0.34). Agreement was high for hip (kappa = 0.86) and knee replacements (kappa = 0.69). The McNemar test showed significant asymmetry for general OA, hand OA, and thumb OA, indicating discrepancies between chart and coded data. No significant asymmetry was found for knee and hip OA, supporting better alignment.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study supports the validity of the OA phenotyping algorithm using the VA database for identifying OA.
