  Large database retrospective studies are routinely conducted using ICD-9 or ICD 10 coding as the basis for identifying patients by diagnosis despite inaccurate data. This study assesses the reliability of ICD-10 coding of medical diagnoses in orthopedic trauma patients and determines how accurately the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), a measure of the patient's burden of disease and mortality risk, can be calculated based on ICD-10 diagnostic codes. The information gained in this study is useful to educate physicians and researchers regarding the limitations of this coding system when drawing conclusions from available data.
