Algorithms to identify colonic ischemia, complications of constipation and irritable bowel syndrome in medical claims data: development and validation

A challenge in the use of insurance claims databases for epidemiologic research is accurate identification and verification of medical conditions. This report describes the development and validation of claims‐based algorithms to identify colonic ischemia, hospitalized complications of constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
