Dr Peter McCullough: There's an elevation of cardiac troponin. What happened is this elevation of troponin was tripping off ICD codes, because they are generating lots of codes in the hospital.

Selected answer:initiate/trigger

Explanation:
There are no standard definitions or conventions for the use of code designations. While code blue does refer to a cardiopulmonary arrest at many hospitals, it doesn't necessarily mean the same thing everywhere. But even if you aren't sure about the meaning of announcements you may hear, keep in mind that every hospital or institution has its own policies and conventions for notification of personnel in the event of emergencies, and the doctors and staff are trained to recognize and respond appropriately to these announcements.

Explanation:
:) :) The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a tool that assigns codes—a kind of medical shorthand—for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, circumstances, and external causes of diseases or injury. Insurance companies expect the codes to be consistent between a condition and the treatment rendered.

[this elevation of troponin] was tripping off ICD codes [...] was triggering (/ causing) the recording of cases with specific ICD codes

Explanation:
The "triggering" is done by this test result ("elevation of troponin"): the direct consequence of this test result is the creation of a statistical record of a case with some specific ICD code(s).

He is talking about various methods that are used and abused to "massage " statistics, about comparing two sets of data with a sleight of hand.

The point he is making is that "elevation of troponin" is to be expected simply from the stress of being in a hospital, so all the ICD codes that are generated on hospital invoices (and become associated with the patient in various statistics) simply because of this test result alone have to be considered in that context, and can be really fully evaluated only when combined with other tests results (before comparing them with other sets of data generated in a different way).

BTW it's easier to follow if you download the whole video
