Among US Medicare beneficiaries receiving a TTE, <i>International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision</i> claims, though identifying a population at significant greater risk of valve-related outcomes, failed to identify nearly half of individuals with AS and were unable to distinguish disease severity or subtype. These results argue against the widespread use of <i>International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision</i> claims to screen for patients with AS and suggests the need for improved coding algorithms and alternative systems to extract TTE data for quality improvement and hospital benchmarking.
