The diagnosis-related group (DRG) system is a prospective hospital payment system used to categorize hospital patients expected to require similar hospital services. In Italy, hospital productivity is calculated from DRG-based data coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), which is a classification system for coding of diagnoses and operations for indexing medical records by diagnosis and operations. The aim of our survey was to determine the national incidence of appendectomies based on the coded summary of selected data in hospital discharge reports (HDR).
