QDM Attributes

AnkylosingSpondylitisDiagnosis

Clinical Focus: This set of values contains codes that identify patients with a diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis.

Data Element Scope: This value set is developed for the diagnosis QDM datatype. It can potentially be used for other datatypes as well.

Inclusion Criteria: Include all diagnosis codes associated with ankylosing spondylitis with comorbidities and associated system involvement.

Exclusion Criteria: Exclude all diagnosis codes associated with juvenile ankylosing spondylitis.

ResultValue constrained to codes in the Ankylosing Spondylitis valueset (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.113.12.1045)

Diagnosis: Condition/Diagnosis/Problem represents a practitioner’s identification of a patient’s disease, illness, injury, or condition. This category contains a single datatype to represent all of these concepts: Diagnosis. A practitioner determines the diagnosis by means of examination, diagnostic test results, patient history, and/or family history. Diagnoses are usually considered unfavorable, but may also represent neutral or favorable conditions that affect a patient’s plan of care (e.g., pregnancy). The QDM does not prescribe the source of diagnosis data in the EHR. Diagnoses may be found in a patient’s problem list, encounter diagnosis list, claims data, or other sources within the EHR. The preferred terminology for diagnoses is SNOMED-CT, but diagnoses may also be encoded using ICD-9/10. The Diagnosis datatype should not be used for differential diagnoses or rule-out diagnoses (neither of which are currently supported by the QDM).
