These functions check whether the given ICD codes look correct, but do not
check whether they have actual definitions in any particular ICD scheme. For
that, see is_defined
.

is_valid(x, short_code, ...)
An ICD-9 or 10 code. If the class is set to 'icd9'
,
'icd10'
, 'icd10cm'
etc then perform appropriate validation.
arguments passed on to other functions
Single logical, if TRUE
, the default, matches for
ICD codes will accept leading and trailing white space.
character vector of 'major' part of ICD-9 codes, i.e. that part which falls before the decimal point, in decimal notation. (In five digit notation, the 'major' part is be the first three characters (with leading zeroes), and includes V or E prefix.
logical vector with TRUE
or FALSE
for each ICD code
provided according to its validity
icd10
: Test whether generic ICD-10 code is valid
icd10fr
: Test whether generic ICD-10-FR code is valid
icd9
: Test whether generic ICD-10 code is valid
comorbidity_map
: Validate a mapping of ICD codes to comorbidities.
icd9_is_valid_major
validates just
the 'major' three-digit part of an ICD-9 code. This can in fact be provided
as a numeric, since there is no ambiguity. Numeric-only codes should be one
to three digits, V codes are followed by one or two digits, and E codes
always by three digits between 800 and 999.
Currently, there is a limitation on NA values.
Calling with NA
(which is a logical vector of length one by default)
fails, because it is not a string. This is rarely of significance in real
life, since the NA will be part of a character vector of codes, and will
therefore be cast already to NA_character
S3 class of on object in R is just a vector. Attributes are
lost with manipulation, with the exception of class: therefore, elements of
the class vector are used to describe features of the data. If these are
not present, the user may specify (e.g. decimal vs short_code type, ICD-9
vs ICD-10 WHO), but if they are, the correct functions are called without
any guess work. There is overlap between sets with combinations of
short_code
or decimal_code
, and ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes, so
guessing is never going to be perfect.
Leading zeroes in the decimal form are not ambiguous. Although integer ICD-9 codes could be intended by the user, there is a difference between 100, 100.0, 100.00. Therefore a warning is given if a numeric value is provided.
