Validation of Case-finding Algorithms Derived from Health Administrative Data for Identifying Neonatal Bacterial Sepsis
Objectives: The objectives of this thesis were to: 1) develop and validate a coding algorithm to identify true cases of neonatal bacterial sepsis, and 2) apply the algorithm to calculate incidence rates and estimate temporal trends of neonatal bacterial sepsis. Methods: For Objective 1, the referen...
