We used a migraine diagnosis judged based on respondents' self-reported symptoms according to the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, version 3 (ICHD-3), as true.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 21,480 individuals, 691 had migraine according to the ICHD-3 criteria. The 12 algorithms had a sensitivity of 5.4\u20138.8%, specificity of 98.8\u201399.6%, PPVs of 19.2\u201332.5%, and NPVs of 96.9\u201397.0%. Algorithm 9 (migraine diagnostic records more than once AND at least one prescription record for migraine prophylaxis or triptans in the same month as diagnosis) produced the highest PPV, whereas Algorithm 2 (at least one diagnostic record of migraine or tension-type headache) had the highest sensitivity. Similar trends were observed when using the ID-Migraine or 4-item migraine screener, instead of the ICHD-3 criteria, for case ascertainment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Strict algorithms, such as Algorithm 9, yielded a higher PPV but a lower sensitivity, and such algorithms may be suitable for studies estimating the relative risk. Conversely, algorithms based on a single diagnostic record, such as Algorithm 2, had a higher sensitivity and may be suitable for studies estimating the prevalence\/incidence of disease. Our findings will help select a desirable algorithm for migraine studies using a Japanese claim database.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2023.1231351","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]],"date-time":"2023-11-27T04:40:28Z","timestamp":1701060028000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Validation
