Background International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnostic codes from acute gastroenteritis (AGE)-associated medical encounters are used for AGE disease burden estimates, yet the validity of AGE-related ICD codes in both pediatric and adult populations is unknown. We estimated the validity of AGE-related diagnostic codes in these populations using two different multi-regional AGE active surveillance platforms. Methods Diagnostic codes, demographic and clinical characteristics, and stool pathogen results from AGE-associated medical encounters were obtained for enrolled children <5 years old from seven sites in NVSN from December 1, 2011 to June 30, 2016, and for adult Veterans in four sites from SUPERNOVA from December 1, 2016 to February 28, 2018. SUPERNOVA also enrolled age- and time-matched non-AGE controls. Using AGE cases from the active surveillance networks, sensitivity and specificity of AGE ICD codes were estimated overall and stratified by age and health care setting using exact binomial tests. Results ICD codes were collected from 14,952 enrolled children <5 years old with AGE, and 625 enrolled adults (525 AGE cases and 100 controls). The sensitivity of all-cause AGE codes in children was 54% (9,127/14,952, 95% confidence interval [CI] 54–55%), and in adults was 54% (283/525; 95% CI 50–58%), with a specificity of 100% (100/100; 95% CI 97–100%). Stratified analyses demonstrated higher sensitivity of all-cause AGE codes in children in the inpatient as compared with outpatient setting: 59% (417/675; 95% CI 57–61%) vs. 53% (934/1827; 95% CI 52–54%). In adults, this trend was reversed; all-cause AGE codes had a higher sensitivity in the outpatient as compared with the inpatient setting: 72% (50/69; 95% CI 60–83%), vs. 51% (233/456; 95% CI 46–56%), respectively. Conclusion Across two different AGE active surveillance platforms, one enrolling only children and one enrolling only adults, the estimated sensitivity of all-cause AGE ICD codes were similarly low. This suggests that current national estimates for AGE disease burden may be underestimating the true burden of AGE pathogens in the United States, and emphasizes the importance of active, prospective surveillance.
