A new method of classifying prognostic comorbidity in longitudinal studies: Development and validation☆

TLDR
The method of classifying comorbidity provides a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death fromComorbid disease for use in longitudinal studies and further work in larger populations is still required to refine the approach.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the adapted comorbidity index will be useful in studies of disease outcome and resource use employing administrative databases.

Comorbidity measures for use with administrative data.

TL;DR: The present method addresses some of the limitations of previous measures and produces an expanded set of comorbidities that easily is applied without further refinement to administrative data for a wide range of diseases.

Coding algorithms for defining comorbidities in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 administrative data.

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.

Validation of a combined comorbidity index.

TL;DR: The estimated relative risk of death from an increase of one in the comorbidity score proved approximately equal to that from an additional decade of age.

Regression Models and Life-Tables

TL;DR: The analysis of censored failure times is considered in this paper, where the hazard function is taken to be a function of the explanatory variables and unknown regression coefficients multiplied by an arbitrary and unknown function of time.

Maximum utilization of the life table method in analyzing survival

TL;DR: Acceptance of survival as a criterion for measuring the effectiveness of cancer therapy is attested to by the very large number of papers published every year reporting on the survival experience of cancer patients.

The analysis of failure times in the presence of competing risks.

TL;DR: It is argued that the problem of estimation of failure rates under the removal of certain causes is not well posed until a mechanism for cause removal is specified, and a method involving the estimation of parameters that relate time-dependent risk indicators for some causes to cause-specific hazard functions for other causes is proposed for the study of interrelations among failure types.

The pre-therapeutic classification of co-morbidity in chronic disease.

TL;DR: In order to maintain consistency in the management of research data, certain principles of co-morbid differential diagnosis can be developed according to anatomic relation, pathogenetic interplay, and chronometric features of the diseases under consideration.
