elixComorbid


The original mapping of Elixhauser's ICD-9-CM to 30
  comorbidities. According to Sharabiani et al, this mapping provides the
  best long-term mortality prediction. The weaknesses of this mapping are
  that it is based on slightly out-dated ICD-9 codes. I have not yet verified
  what changes to the ICD-9-CM specification between 1998 and now would
  impact this mapping.

Obsolete: 'icd9' is replaced by CRAN package 'icd'.
Calculate comorbidities, Charlson scores, perform fast and accurate
validation, conversion, manipulation, filtering and comparison of ICD-9-CM
(clinical modification) codes. ICD-9 codes appear numeric but leading and
trailing zeroes, and both decimal and non-decimal "short" format codes
exist. The package enables a work flow from raw lists of ICD-9 codes from
hospital billing databases to comorbidities. ICD-9 to comorbidity mappings
from Quan (Deyo and Elixhauser versions), Elixhauser and AHRQ included. Any
other mapping of codes, such as ICD-10, to comorbidities can be used.
