Hello,
I'm working with the Charlson co morbidity ado program. Does anyone
know if ICD-9 procedure codes should be included as well as ICD-9
diagnosis codes? The original Charlson reference (J Chron Dis v 40,
373-383, 1987) only used diagnoses, however Romano's modification that
allowed ICD-9 usage(J Clin Epi v 46, 1075-1079, 1993) does. I'm not
sure which method the writers of the ado file used and could not find
any documentation in the help file.
Thanks,
JSM
