icd10_comorbid_parent_search_cpp: Internal function to find ICD-10 parents

Description

Internal function to find ICD-10 parents

Usage

icd10_comorbid_parent_search_cpp(x, map, visit_name, icd_name)

Arguments

x

Character vector (not factor)

map

named list containing vectors of ICD-9 codes. E.g. the AHRQ ICD-9 comorbidities, contains list(OBESE = c("2780", "27800", "27801", "27803", "V8554", "79391", "64910", "64911", "64912", "64913", "64914", "V8530", "V8531", "V8532", "V8533", "V8534", "V8535", "V8536", "V8537", "V8538", "V8539", "V8541", "V8542", "V8543", "V8544", "V8545" ), DEPRESS = c("3004", "30112", "3090", "3091", "311")) amongst other longer groups.

visit_name

The name of the column in the data frame which contains the patient or visit identifier. Typically this is the visit identifier, since patients come leave and enter hospital with different ICD-9 codes. It is a character vector of length one. If left empty, or NULL, then an attempt is made to guess which field has the ID for the patient encounter (not a patient ID, although this can of course be specified directly). The guesses proceed until a single match is made. Data frames may be wide with many matching fields, so to avoid false positives, anything but a single match is rejected. If there are no successful guesses, and visit_id was not specified, then the first column of the data frame is used.

icd_name

The name of the column in the data.frame which contains the ICD codes. This is a character vector of length one. If it is NULL, icd9 will attempt to guess the column name, looking for progressively less likely possibilities until it matches a single column. Failing this, it will take the first column in the data frame. Specifying the column using this argument avoids the guesswork.
