TL;DR
The Elixhauser comorbidity measurement method performs better than the widely used Charlson/Deyo method in the Canadian acute MI cases studied.

Journal of Chronic DiseasesA new method of classifying prognostic comorbidity in longitudinal studies: Development and validation

The method of classifying comorbidity provides a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death fromComorbid disease for use in longitudinal studies and further work in larger populations is still required to refine the approach.
Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyAdapting a clinical comorbidity index for use with ICD-9-CM administrative databases

It is concluded that the adapted comorbidity index will be useful in studies of disease outcome and resource use employing administrative databases.
Medical CareComorbidity Measures for Use with Administrative Data

The present method addresses some of the limitations of previous measures and produces an expanded set of comorbidities that easily is applied without further refinement to administrative data for a wide range of diseases.
Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyPractical considerations on the use of the charlson comorbidity index with administrative data bases
898 Citations1996William D’Hoore, A. Bouckaert +1 more
It is concluded that the Charlson index may be an efficient approach to risk adjustment from administrative data bases, although it should be tested on other conditions.
Medical CareComparison of the Performance of Two Comorbidity Measures, With and Without Information From Prior Hospitalizations
239 Citations2001George J. Stukenborg, Douglas P. Wagner +1 more
This study compares the performance of two comorbidity risk adjustment methods in five groups of California hospital patients with common reasons for hospitalization, and assesses the contribution to model performance made by information drawn from prior hospital admissions.
Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyAssessing accuracy of diagnosis-type indicators for flagging complications in administrative data
101 Citations2004Hude Quan, Gerry A. Parsons +1 more
The validity of diagnosis-type indicators in Canadian administrative discharge data appears to be poor for some types of complications, likely to be of greatest concern in studies that rely solely on diagnosis- type indicators to define complications as outcomes.
Journal of General Internal MedicineRisk adjustment using administrative data
45 Citations2001William A. Ghali, Hude Quan +1 more
The results of risk adjustment analyses predicting in-hospital mortality differed when the diagnosis-type indicator was either used or ignored, and as a result, adjusted hospital mortality rates and rankings changed, often dramatically, with rankings increasing for 10 hospitals, decreasing for 9 hospitals, and remaining the same for only 4 hospitals.
