Abstract

The results of a Clinical Events & Specialties check using the Multi-Site, Anomaly Detection, Longitudinal parameters. This check evaluates anomalous specialty utilization over time in visits associated with serum creatinine labs or antihypertensive prescriptions.

Provenance

This data quality check was run on a database extracted from the The Preserving Kidney Function in Children With CKD (PRESERVE) Study. These results were not used for the study, but rather run on the study data after analysis was conducted as part of an SSQDA demonstration project.

Description

  • There are several sites with inflection points around 2015/2016 for Nephrology and Other/Unknown, which indicates a potential data latency issue or an adjustment in coding practices around that time.
  • Stanford was identified as anomalous for Nephrology specialties at visits with antihypertensive prescriptions in the cross-sectional output, but in this output, this appears to be driven by pre-2015 data as they start to align with the rest of the network in later years. UMichigan, the other anomalous site, appears to have better capture pre-2015 which flattens out in later years.

Response to Findings

Study team did not conduct further investigation or data intervention in response to these results because this was a demonstration project intended to highlight the functionality of the SQUBA tool.

Clinical Events and Specialty Agreement: Multi-Site, Anomaly Detection, Longitudinal Analysis
Created:2024-06-05Check Category:Consistency
This check highlights anomalous types of clinical events that occur across clinician or facility specialties and across time. It provides a high level summary of the quality of clinical specialty data in a study sample to examine multiple sites. The intention of the check is to evaluate the concordance of specific events (e.g., diagnosis of type I diabetes) and specialist providers or care sites (e.g., endocrinologist or endocrinology clinic) at the visit level.
