Sequence# 13172 - Anticipated Life Expectancy of Less Than 1 Year (Video 0:56)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a new data element called Sequence 13172, which is used to track the anticipated life expectancy of less than one year for TAVR procedures. The coding for this data element is based on physician documentation, and if there is no documentation or clarification available, it would be left blank. Another data element, Sequence 14454, is used to capture when the anticipated life expectancy is not documented. The coding for Sequence 13172 is not done by the abstractor as it is based on physician knowledge of comorbidities and other factors unrelated to the aortic disease. This new data element has been added to the full dataset for future evaluation purposes.
