摘要：Health care utilization of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) has been well documented due to an increase in the use of administrative data sets. While use of such data sources is relatively efficient and low cost, questions remain as to whether they provide sufficient information to fully characterize health care use. The aim of this study was to determine whether administrative data have the capacity to fully assess health care utilization among children with SCD. We studied the health care utilization of 154 low-income children with SCD in a managed care organization combining administrative data and medical record review. In our comparison, we found that administrative claims provided key information on the scope and location of health service use and that sole reliance on medical record review may undercount unique members and encounters.
