Methodology IQVIA generated the Type 2 diabetes data for this presentation out of health care professional (837p) and institutional (837i) insurance claims, representing nearly 11.7 million unique patients nationally in 2017 with a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes (ICD-9 codes 249.00 250.92; ICD-10 codes E08, E09, E11, E13). IQVIA also gathers data on prescription activity from the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP). These data account for some 2 billion prescription claims annually, or more than 86% of the prescription universe. These prescription data represent the sampling of prescription activity from a variety of sources, including retail chains, mass merchandisers, and pharmacy benefit managers. Cash, mail-order, Medicaid, and third-party transactions are tracked. Proprietary lab data derive from one of the largest independent commercial lab companies in the U.S. Patient information is de-identified, matched, and linked with other patient data assets (e.g., medical claims data). The most common attributes used are the de-identified patient ID, observation date, diagnosis, test name, test code, and test result. DATA INTEGRITY Data arriving into IQVIA are put through a rigorous process to ensure that data elements match to valid references, such as product codes, ICD-9/10 (diagnosis) and CPT-4 (procedure) codes, and provider and facility data. Claims undergo a careful de-duplication process to ensure that when multiple, voided, or adjusted claims are assigned to a patient encounter, they are applied to the database, but only for a single, unique patient. Through its patient-encryption methods, IQVIA creates a unique, random numerical identifier for each patient, then strips away all patient-specific health information protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The identifier allows IQVIA to track disease-specific diagnosis and procedure activity across the various settings where patient care is provided (hospital inpatient, hospital outpatient, emergency rooms, clinics, etc.), while protecting the privacy of each patient. Limitations This is an administrative-claims-based data set, with potential biases secondary to coding variation and missing data. Administrative claims data have been used successfully in many published studies to examine patterns, effectiveness, and gaps in quality of care, and to assess outcomes in care. Although this data set focuses on patients with Type 2 diabetes, there are limitations in the granularity of ICD9-CM/ICD10 codes used for billing. There were unmeasured factors that predict hospital readmission (e.g., quality of inpatient care and discharge planning, race, education, smoking, wellness program utilization) that were not controlled for in the multivariate analyses. 14 Managed Care Digest Series, 2018 sanofi-aventis U.S., LLC.
