TL;DR: A multistep process to develop ICD-10 coding algorithms to define Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidities in administrative data and assess the performance of the resulting algorithms found these newly developed algorithms produce similar estimates ofComorbidity prevalence in administrativeData, and may outperform existing I CD-9-CM coding algorithms.

TL;DR: Although there are few epidemiologic data from developing countries, the incidence and prevalence of IBD are increasing with time and in different regions around the world, indicating its emergence as a global disease.

TL;DR: The overall incidence rate of AEs of 7.5% in this study suggests that, of the almost 2.5 million annual hospital admissions in Canada similar to the type studied, about 185 000 are associated with an AE and close to 70 000 of these are potentially preventable.

TL;DR: This work represents the first rigorous adaptation of the Charlson comorbidity index for use with ICD-10 data and yields closely similar prevalence and prognosis information by comorbridity category.

TL;DR: Light to moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a reduced risk of multiple cardiovascular outcomes, and the lowest risk of coronary heart disease mortality occurred with 1–2 drinks a day, but for stroke mortality it occurred with ≤1 drink per day.
