The WHO ICD-10 scheme sub-chapters. N.b. there may be WHO vs CM differences:
please file bug if noted. In the XML
definition of ICD-10-CM there are
some intermediate hierarchical levels, e.g. for neoplasms. Sub-chapter here
is defined as the lowest-level grouping of three-digit codes, e.g. C00-C14
"Malignant neoplasms of lip, oral cavity and pharynx", not C00-C96 "Malignant
neoplasms" which itself is a subset of the chapter C00-D49 "Neoplasms"
Format: list with sub-chapter or major names stored in list names, each with two element named character vector with start and end codes.
