Hello: I am working on getting some statistics related to clinical trials and stuff. I have to work with ICD9 codes. Is anyone aware of any R method that deals with ICD9 codes verification and manipulation. Thanks Vishwanath

Kirsten, this may not be the most elegant approach, but I think I would create dummy variables on the fly for each disease code you have, then use the "with" function to get means. Give this a try: # setup some fake data as an example icd9 <- c(rep("dis1",4), rep("dis2",5), rep("dis3",3)) n <- length(icd9) exposure <- rnorm(n) working <- data.frame(icd9, exposure) # get some useful things together numDis <- length(levels(working$icd9)) diseaseCodes <- levels(working$icd9) # capture...

Hello. I am looking for a function that will allow me to paste rows together without regard for the numbers of columns in the datasets to be joined. The only columns where it matters if they are aligned correctly are at the beginning - the rest of the columns represent differing numbers of ICD9 (disease) codes reported by each person(record) at a health visit. They are in no particular order. For example, a result would look like this: patient ICD91 ICD92 ICD93 patient A 12345 6789 1543 patient B 3469 9090 patient C...

I have a list of ICD9 (disease) codes with various formats - 3 digit, 4 digit, 5 digit. The first three digits of these codes are what I am most interested in. I would like to either add zeros to the 3 and 4 digit codes to make them 5 digit codes or add decimal points to put them all in the format ###.##. I did not s...

Hi all, I'm using the medical risk package to determine the risk stratification Index based on the ICD9 codes. Although, I have been successful in using it, I'm unable to interpret the output. here is the sample code # Calculate RSI for each patient ("id") in dataframe cases <- data.frame(id=c(1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2), + icd9cm=c("D4019","D25000&quo...
