st: ICD-10 and Global Burden of Disease (GBD)

[Henrik Stovring <hstovring@health.sdu.dk>]

Dear Statalisters,

In a study we want to categorize causes of death coded with ICD-9 and 
ICD-10 into larger groups as defined by WHO in their Global Burden of 
Disease project (see for example 
http://www.who.int/healthinfo/bod/en/index.html). The correspondence 
between ICD-9/10 and GBD is documented here: 
http://www.dcp2.org/pubs/GBD/3/Table/3.A2 . Now in principle I could 
just go about coding the translation directly, but I wondered if another 
industrious statalister had already developed code to do the job? I have 
tried searching both inside and outside of Stata, but to no avail.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

Regards,

Henrik
