International classification of diseases-9th revision coding for preeclampsia: how accurate is it?

The results indicate that ICD-9 revision codes for preeclampsia/eclampsia vary greatly in their accuracy of diagnosis, and suggest that a review of medical records is required when data are gathered on the incidence of preeclampsia and eclampsia.
