st: ICD9 data

[Fred Wolfe <fwolfe@arthritis-research.org>]

Does anyone know how to modify the ICD9 database supplied with Stata. 
Stata appears to be a little out of date. We recently ran chceks on 
our hospital data and received errors for the codes below.But they 
are valid in the current ICD9 codebook. They are all decimal 
extensions of previously existing codes, i.e., what used to be 585 
for chronic renal failure is now 585.1 through 585.6 for stage I, 
stage II, stage III, etc and 585.9 for CRF unspecified.

Or perhaps there is another way to handle this. Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.
