from 1996 to 2012 (this is what CDC has published). Only 2012
implemented thus far

year

single logical value, defaults to <code>FALSE</code> in most functions.

verbose


Currently only the most recent update is implemented. Note that
  CMS have published additional ICD-9-CM billable code lists since the last
  one from the CDC: I think these have been the same every year since 2011,
  though. THe last CDC release is Dtab12.rtf from 2011.

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.
