Description

The primary goal of the Sentinel pilot is to build and operate a national public health surveillance system to monitor the safety of FDA-regulated medical products, including drugs, biologics, and devices. Sentinel is part of the Sentinel Initiative, the FDA’s response to a congressional mandate to create an active surveillance system using electronic health data. This data model is freely available to all. For more information about Sentinel visit the website at: www.sentinelsystem.org For comments and suggestions, please email: info@sentinelsystem.org Description: The SCDM Incident 3-Digit ICD-9 Diagnosis Summary Table1 provides a count of unique members with an incident diagnosis of each 3-digit ICD-9-CM code in one of four care setting of interest, stratified by age group, sex, and year. Incidence is defined as a member with an encounter with the diagnosis of interest (i.e., the index date), in the care setting of interest, in the year of interest with no evidence of that diagnosis in the 90, 180 and 270 days (i.e., the lookback periods) before the index date in any care setting. Both medical and drug coverage are required during the three possible lookback periods, allowing for eligibility gaps of <=45 days. In addition, the table reports the number of encounters in the care setting of interest with the diagnosis in the 90, 180, 270 days after the index date (including the index event). Only the first incident event/index date within each year is considered.
