Overview Informational Notes The Adult and Geriatric Psychiatry Criteria are for the review of patients who are ages 18 and older. InterQual® content contains numerous references to gender. Depending on the context, these references may refer to either genotypic or phenotypic gender. At the individual patient level, a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, gender identity and gender reassignment via surgery or hormonal manipulation, may affect the applicability of some InterQual criteria. This is most often the case with genetic testing and procedures that assume the presence of gender−specific anatomy. With these considerations in mind, all references to gender in InterQual have been reviewed and modified when appropriate. InterQual users should carefully consider issues related to patient genotype and anatomy, especially for transgender individuals, when appropriate. InterQual® criteria are derived from the systematic, continuous review and critical appraisal of the most current evidence−based literature and include input from our independent panel of clinical experts. To generate the most appropriate recommendations, a comprehensive literature review of the clinical evidence was conducted. Sources searched included the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Effective Health Care Program, American Psychiatric Association, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, American Psychological Association, American Society of Addiction Medicine, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Choosing Wisely, Cochrane Library, National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, National Institute on Drug Abuse, PubMed, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and other key medical societies. The Association of Ambulatory Behavioral Healthcare, Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and the Joint Commission were also searched. Other medical literature databases, medical content providers, data sources, regulatory body websites, and specialty society resources may also have been utilized. Relevant studies were assessed for risk of bias following principles described in the Cochrane Handbook. The resulting evidence was assessed for consistency, directness, precision, effect size, and publication bias. Observational trials were also evaluated for the presence of a dose−response gradient and the likely effect of plausible confounders.
