icd9DropZeroFromDecimal

is a character vector of ICD-9 codes. If fewer than five characters is
given in a code, then the digits are greedily assigned to hundreds, then
tens, then units, before the decimal parts. E.g. "10" becomes "010", not
"0010"

icd9

character string (unit length) containing one of:
  "ignore", "silent", "warn", "stop"<p></p><p>  - <code>ignore</code> no check for validity of ICD-9 code is made implicitly.
  This is the fastest option. If the function call is explicitly to check
  validity, e</p>

invalidAction

decimal form ICD-9 codes are not ambiguous if the leading zeroes
  are dropped. Some short-form ICD-9 codes would not be ambiguous, e.g. "1"
  but many would be problematic, so no function is provided to do this for
  short-form codes.

manip

internal

This package allows accurate manipulation, validation and
    comparison of ICD-9-CM (clinical modification) codes. Although ICD-9 codes
    appear numeric, this is not the case, since trailing zeroes, and a mixture
    of decimal and non-decimal "short" format codes exist. Tools to map ICD-9
    codes to co-morbidities are also provided, with mappings from Quan (Deyo
    and Elixhauser versions), Elixhauser and AHRQ included.

icd9DropZeroFromDecimal: drop zero padding from decimal ICD-9 code.
