parseIcd9Chapters

There is no easily machine-readable list of the three digit (I call the 'major') ICD-9 code chapters. This code downloads a pretty RTF file and extracts these codes with their names. WORK IN PROGRESS!

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.
