cim10-claml 0.1.0

Parser for the French CIM-10 (ICD-10-FR) classification in ClaML format

cim10-claml

Parser for the French CIM-10 (ICD-10-FR) classification distributed by the ATIH in ClaML format. No dependencies outside the standard library.

Beyond reading the raw XML, the parser applies the CIM-10-specific ClaML semantics needed to get a usable code table:

• Hierarchy — chapters, blocks, categories and subcategories with parent links, materialized paths (IX/I20-I25/I21/I21.0) and depths.
• Chapter letter ranges — chapter IX gets I00-I99, so WHO-style cross-references (which cite a letter range like "I00-I99" rather than the chapter number IX) can be resolved to chapters.
• Composed labels — ClaML subcategory labels are contextual (D48.6 is just "Sein"); the parent label is prepended so every code is self-descriptive ("Tumeur…, Sein").
• Modifier semantics — ModifiedBy inheritance down the parent chain, ExcludeModifier subtraction, and materialization of the modified codes: dotted sub-codes create a new level (E11 + .0 → E11.0), non-dotted sub-codes extend it (E11.0 + 0 → E11.00), chained when a leaf has both. Composed codes like I21.38 come out as regular entries with kind="modified".
• Rubric rendering — inclusion / exclusion / note rubrics parsed from the fragment structure into HTML blocks: shared prefixes become nested lists, item runs become brace-groups (the typographic { layout of the printed CIM-10), with dagger/aster references preserved. Each block carries its French title ("Comprend :", "À l'exclusion de :", …).

Installation

pip install cim10-claml

Usage

from cim10_claml import parse_cim10

result = parse_cim10("cim10.xml")  # ClaML file from the ATIH

for cls in result.classes:
    print(cls.code, cls.kind, cls.label)
    # cls.parent_code, cls.path, cls.depth
    # cls.modifier_codes  — effective modifiers (inherited, minus exclusions)
    # cls.rubrics         — [{"kind": "exclusion", "title": "À l'exclusion de :", "html": ...}]

result.modifiers         # [ClamlModifier(code, description)]
result.modifier_classes  # [ClamlModifierClass(modifier, sub_code, label, usage, rubrics)]

Rendering helpers can also be used standalone on ClaML elements:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from cim10_claml import render_label_plain, render_rubric_blocks

el = ET.fromstring('<Label>Choléra</Label>')
render_label_plain(el)  # "Choléra"

Fragment rendering

In ClaML, inclusion/exclusion rubrics encode the printed layout of the CIM-10 book as <Fragment> sequences repeated across sibling rubrics. The fragment type sequence always follows the grammar item* list* item*: type="list" fragments sharing a prefix form indented lists, while type="item" fragments at the edges form the brace groups ({) of the printed book. render_rubric_blocks reconstitutes both.

Shared list prefix → nested list. The prefix "amnésie :" is repeated in every rubric; the renderer factors it out as a parent node (F04, reduced):

<Class code="F04">
  <Rubric kind="exclusion"><Label>
    <Fragment type="list">amnésie :</Fragment>
    <Fragment type="list">SAI<Reference class="in brackets">R41.3</Reference></Fragment>
  </Label></Rubric>
  <Rubric kind="exclusion"><Label>
    <Fragment type="list">amnésie :</Fragment>
    <Fragment type="list">antérograde<Reference class="in brackets">R41.1</Reference></Fragment>
  </Label></Rubric>
  <Rubric kind="exclusion"><Label>
    <Fragment type="list">amnésie :</Fragment>
    <Fragment type="list">dissociative<Reference class="in brackets">F44.0</Reference></Fragment>
  </Label></Rubric>
</Class>

render_rubric_blocks(ET.fromstring(xml))

returns one block (kind="exclusion", title="À l'exclusion de :") whose html is (whitespace added for readability):

<ul class="cim10-frag-list">
  <li>amnésie :
    <ul class="cim10-frag-list">
      <li>SAI (<a class="cim10-ref cim10-bracketed" data-link="class:R41.3">R41.3</a>)</li>
      <li>antérograde (<a class="cim10-ref cim10-bracketed" data-link="class:R41.1">R41.1</a>)</li>
      <li>dissociative (<a class="cim10-ref cim10-bracketed" data-link="class:F44.0">F44.0</a>)</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

Shared item suffix → brace group. Here every rubric repeats the trailing item "à Salmonella"; the renderer emits one column per fragment position, with distinct values deduplicated — the on-screen equivalent of the printed brace. Fragment-level usage="dagger" propagates to the <li> and appends the † glyph; aster references get * (A02.2, reduced):

<Class code="A02.2">
  <Rubric kind="inclusion"><Label>
    <Fragment type="item" usage="dagger">Arthrite<Reference class="in brackets" usage="aster">M01.3</Reference></Fragment>
    <Fragment type="item">à Salmonella</Fragment>
  </Label></Rubric>
  <Rubric kind="inclusion"><Label>
    <Fragment type="item" usage="dagger">Méningite<Reference class="in brackets" usage="aster">G01</Reference></Fragment>
    <Fragment type="item">à Salmonella</Fragment>
  </Label></Rubric>
  <Rubric kind="inclusion"><Label>
    <Fragment type="item" usage="dagger">Ostéomyélite<Reference class="in brackets" usage="aster">M90.2</Reference></Fragment>
    <Fragment type="item">à Salmonella</Fragment>
  </Label></Rubric>
</Class>

returns one block (kind="inclusion", title="Comprend :"):

<div class="cim10-brace-group" data-cols="2" style="--cols:2">
  <ul class="cim10-brace-col">
    <li class="cim10-dagger">Arthrite† (<a class="cim10-ref cim10-bracketed cim10-aster" data-link="class:M01.3">M01.3*</a>)</li>
    <li class="cim10-dagger">Méningite† (<a class="cim10-ref cim10-bracketed cim10-aster" data-link="class:G01">G01*</a>)</li>
    <li class="cim10-dagger">Ostéomyélite† (<a class="cim10-ref cim10-bracketed cim10-aster" data-link="class:M90.2">M90.2*</a>)</li>
  </ul>
  <ul class="cim10-brace-col">
    <li>à Salmonella</li>
  </ul>
</div>

The rubric HTML is intentionally unstyled structure (brace-group, brace-col, frag-list, ref CSS classes; data-link="class:J45" / data-link="modifier:S04E10_4" attributes on references). Styling — CSS grid columns from --cols, drawing the brace, list bullets — and link resolution are up to the consumer.

Every emitted CSS class is namespaced to avoid clashing with the consumer's stylesheet. The prefix defaults to cim10- (so ref → cim10-ref, brace-group → cim10-brace-group, and classes carried through from the source XML like <Para class="headingIntro"> → cim10-headingIntro) and is configurable via css_prefix on both parse_cim10 and render_rubric_blocks:

parse_cim10("cim10.xml", css_prefix="icd-")   # icd-ref, icd-brace-group, …
render_rubric_blocks(el, css_prefix="")        # bare: ref, brace-group, …
