2016, Canadian Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Overall, CCHS data spanning 2000-2013 were examined. The Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System (CCDSS) is a collaborative network of provincial and territorial surveillance systems containing information held within provincial/territorial health administrative databases (excluding Alberta), namely, health insurance registry data, physician billings, and hospitalizations.18 The CCDSS definition of hypertension is based on at least 2 physician claims within a 2-year period or 1 inpatient hospital separation for International Classification of Diseases (ICD), revision 9 (ICD-9) codes (401.x, 402.x, 403.x, 404.x, or 405.x) or the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10-CA) codes (I10.x, I11.x, I12.x, I13.x, or I15.x).19
