Recognizing this, we conducted a multistep process to developICD-10 Coding Algorithms to define Charlson and elixhauser co-morbidities in administrative data and assess the performance of theresulting :ICD-10 Coding Algorithms were developed by transla-tion of the ICD-9-CM codes constituting Deyo s (for Charlsoncomorbidities) and elixhauser s Coding Algorithms and by physi-cians assessment of the face-validity of selected ICD-10 codes.
