Details
The FDA is interested in identifying other codes in the PEPR claims profiles from the Stillbirth Validation project and evaluate whether they can inform further refinement of the algorithm used in that project.
Aim 1: Evaluate the distribution of individual codes among confirmed and non-confirmed stillbirth cases to inform further refinement of the algorithm using the PEPR claims profiles of potential cases created as part of the Stillbirth Validation project
Aim 2. Identify potential additional variables to inform further refinement of the algorithm using the PEPR claims profiles of Stillbirth cases, examine predictors of stillbirth and determine the PPVs for specific combinations of codes previously created and new variables
