64 Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy <strong>KCE</strong> Reports 74<br />

5.7.2.1 Description of the Minimal Clinical Data set<br />

The minimal clinical data (in Belgium: Résumé Clinique Minimal/Minimale Klinische<br />

Gegevens, RCM/MKG) is a compulsory registration of information concerning each<br />

hospital stay, whether in classical hospitalization or in one-day clinic. All information is<br />

transferred to the Ministry of Health, where the information is compiled by registration<br />

year. The data are validated internally and compared with reference lists (on the<br />

hospital level and by the Ministry) but the clinical coherency of recorded diagnoses and<br />

procedures are not specifically validated. The <strong>KCE</strong> report on Clinical Quality<br />

Indicators 132 provides more details about biases and flaws linked to MCD analysis.<br />

5.7.2.2 Minimal Clinical Data set and Minimal Financial Data (MFD): methodology for<br />

this study<br />

Relevant ICD-9-CM procedure codes<br />

The following clinical ICD-9-CM procedure codes were selected (ICD-9-CM:<br />

International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification):<br />

• ICD-9-CM 93.95: “Hyperbaric oxygenation”<br />

• ICD-9-CM 93.97: “Decompression chamber”<br />

Relevant billing codes<br />

The following billing codes from the nomenclature apply:<br />

• 212520: “Installatie van en toezicht op zuurstoftherapie in hyperbare<br />

drukkamer (ongeacht het aantal zittingen): De eerste dag” /<br />

“Installation et surveillance d'une oxygénothérapie en caisson<br />

hyperbare (quel que soit le nombre de séances): Le premier jour”<br />

• 212542: “Installatie van en toezicht op zuurstoftherapie in hyperbare<br />

drukkamer (ongeacht het aantal zittingen): De tweede dag” /<br />

Installation et surveillance d'une oxygénothérapie en caisson hyperbare<br />

(quel que soit le nombre de séances): Le second jour<br />

The codes 212516 and 212531 do no apply for MCD/MFD analysis since these are<br />

ambulatory codes. The code 760642 does not apply since the military hospital is not<br />

registered in the MCD/MFD.<br />

Data selection<br />

The following data were analyzed for the years 2000-2004:<br />

• All coupled stays MCD-MFD<br />

o having ICD-9-CM 93.95 or 93.97 in field in dataset<br />

or<br />

o having 212520 or 212542 in field in<br />

dataset from MFD<br />

• All non-coupled stays from MCD and day stays having ICD-9-CM<br />

93.95 or 93.97 in field in dataset <br />

• The non-coupled stays from MFD having 212520 or 212542 in field<br />

in dataset from MFD, were not<br />

analysed, since for the non-coupled MFD data, there is no diagnosis<br />

available. Neither the Anonymous Day Hospitalization data (available<br />

for 2004-2005) were analyzed for the same reason.<br />

Overview of retrieved MCD-MFD data<br />

In total 3 959 stays were retrieved, of which 3 179 correctly coupled stays, 60<br />

incorrectly coupled stays, 323 non-coupled MCD stays and 397 non-coupled MFD stays.<br />

A full overview of the retrieved data set is provided in appendix.
