recode

Converts ICD-10 codes to CDC/NCHS Selected Causes of Death codes.

• ICD-10 stands for International Classification of Diseases v.10.
• CDC stands for Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention.
• NCHS stands for National Center for Health Statistics.

To install run:

pip install icd10_c2cdc

How this can be used:

    from icd10_c2cdc import Recoder
    recoder = Recoder('tables/358 ICD-10 Recodes.txt')  # Read about tables below
    print(recoder)  # Prints a tree of the recodes' hierarchy
    print(recoder.get_codes('G20'))  # Prints related Causes of Death codes: ['18500', '18800']

Recoder is based on NCHS text files that were downloaded from ResDAC, each file is a table that specify the grouping classification for each ICD-10 code. These files had a few errors (for example, some "1" were mistakenly typed as the letter "l"), which we fixed. Download the fixed tables from tables.
