Injection-related infections (IRI) cause morbidity and mortality in people who inject drugs. Hospital administrative datasets can be used to describe hospitalisation trends, but there are no validated algorithms to identify injecting drug use and IRIs. We aimed to validate International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes to identify admissions with IRIs and use these codes to describe IRIs within our hospital.

注射相关感染住院：验证诊断代码以监测澳大利亚墨尔本一家三级医院的入院趋势

注射相关感染 (IRI) 会导致注射吸毒者发病和死亡。医院管理数据集可用于描述住院趋势，但没有经过验证的算法来识别注射吸毒和 IRI。我们的目标是验证国际疾病分类 (ICD) 代码以识别 IRI 入院，并使用这些代码来描述我们医院内的 IRI。
