icdhelper

An R package for converting ICD-10 diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes into human-readable descriptions.

Motivation

This package was developed while working with NIS (National Inpatient Sample) data, where ICD codes are difficult to interpret and require repetitive manual lookup.

During research, manually mapping ICD codes to descriptions was time-consuming and error-prone. This package automates that process for vectors, data frames, and association rule outputs.

Overview

This package helps you:

Installation

install.packages(“devtools”)

devtools::install_github(“nishasheshashayee/icdhelper”)

Load package

library(icdhelper)

Example 1: Single ICD code

icd_desc(“I10”)

Example 2: Multiple ICD codes

icd_desc(c(“I10”,“E11”))

Example 3: Add descriptions to a data frame

df <- data.frame(code = c(“I10”,“E11”))

df2 <- add_icd_desc(df, “code”)

Example 4: Insert description column

df2 <- add_icd_desc_df(df, “code”)

Procedure codes

proc_desc(“0DJ07ZZ”)

df_proc <- data.frame(proc = c(“0DJ07ZZ”))

df_proc2 <- add_proc_desc_df(df_proc, “proc”)

Association rules
