icd9's Issues

Needs help with the event prediction with ICD9 codes

I was given a problem with event IDs (ICD9 codes). I have to predict the next 10 events. How do I approach this. Please help. I am entirely new to this area. Any links would be well appreciated. Thanks

codes.json missing entire section of ICD9 codes

If you look at the list [child.code for child in tree.children] it contains the following in sequence:

680-709
710-739
760-779
780-789

Notably, it is missing 740-759 (congenital disorders). I think I can fix that I'm just wondering why it's excluded.

tree.search('001') returning nothing

After doing the steps as mentioned, when i try to query a ICD9 code using script , i am not getting any results returned. Im importing ICD9 class in script , then making a tree object using codes.json, then doing tree.search('001') and its not returning anything.Not even for other codes.

However surprisingly,this works

    toplevelnodes = tree.children
    toplevelcodes = [node.code for node in toplevelnodes]
    print('\t'.join(toplevelcodes))

cant figure out how to deal with this. Thanks

About icd10!

Hi @sirrice,

This package is amazing!! Very easy to use and exactly what I was looking for -- I'm trying to map icd9 codes to actual disease names and also need to check if a certain code is a valid icd9 code! Thank you for creating and sharing this!

I'm trying to find a similar library for ICD10. After some search, I couldn't find one that's as easy as yours...do you have recommendations for which ICD10 python library to try?

How to install

What is the pip install command? Thanks @sirrice @asross
