Development of an Algorithm to Identify Cases of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Cirrhosis in the Electronic Health Record

Current genetic research of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis is limited by our ability to accurately identify cases on a large scale. Our objective was to develop and validate an electronic health record (EHR) algorithm to accurately identify cases of NASH cirrhosis in the EHR. We used Clinical Query 2, a search tool at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, to create a pool of potential NASH cirrhosis cases (n = 5415). We created a...
