Among all covariates, claims algorithms for covariates had sensitivities 85% for identifying diabetes, atrial flutter/fibrillation, and hypertension in MA and FFS. The kappa was higher in MA versus FFS for diabetes (P=0.03) and hypertension (P=0.025) but was lower in myocardial infarction (P<0.0001).
