Figure 2. PPV (%) with 95% confidence intervals for validated ICD-10 codes. ICD-10 codes to define chronic liver disease are presented in . These codes were registered if found in the patient chart within 2 years from the date of the validated ICD code.The PPV for K70.3 refers to the presence of cirrhosis in these patients. We did not evaluate the aetiology (alcohol or not) of these patients. PPV: positive predictive value; ICD: International Classification of Diseases; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma.
