  1. Notes: Patients were assigned to one of the 14 diagnosis groups of more acute rather than chronic conditions (e.g., bronchitis) if they were diagnosed at least once with one of the ICD-10 codes during the observation period of 1 year (M1Q). These diagnoses needed to be labeled as “confirmed” in order to enhance coding accuracy. Conditions that are more chronic (e.g., hypertension) were identified if patients received at least two diagnoses in two different quarters during the observation period (M2Q). These diagnoses needed to be labeled as “confirmed” or “status post” after a hospital stay
