Australian Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (AR-DRG) Version 5.1
AR-DRG version 5.1 was released in October 2004. It is a minor
update to the classification and incorporates ICD-10-AM Fourth
Edition codes. The ADRG and DRG structure is unchanged from version
5.0.
The latest available morbidity and patient-level cost data were
used to test recommendations for the development of AR-DRG Version
5.1. All recommendations were initially tested using morbidity
and patient level cost data collected for the 2000/01 financial
year. Morbidity data for financial years 2001/02 and 2002/03 morbidity
data later became available, and some recommendations were tested
using these data.
Data for the financial years 2000/01 and 2001/02, which were
coded using ICD-10-AM Second Edition codes, were mapped to ICD-10-AM
Third Edition codes and grouped to AR-DRG Version 5.0 to test
recommendations for the development of Version 5.1. Data for financial
year 2002/03 were coded using the ICD-10-AM Third Edition codes
and grouped to AR-DRG Version 5.0 without mapping.
When AR-DRG Version 5.1 was finalised, it was tested using data
which was forward mapped to ICD-10-AM Fourth Edition codes.
