Abstract

Introduction: revision (ICD-10) codes. We sought to identify codes associated with not having a FIT order. Methods: We included screen-eligible patients with a primary care visit between June 2022 and June 2023. We enumerated and compared the frequency of each ICD-10 code between patients with and without a FIT ordered. We conducted a subgroup analysis including only those with a Charlson comorbidity index (CCI)
