Moore BJ, White S, Washington R, Coenen N, and Elixhauser A. A new method of classifying prognostic comorbidity in longitudinal studies: development and validation. Coding algorithms for defining comorbidities in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 administrative data. Quan H, Sundararajan V, Halfon P, Fong A, Burnand B, Luthi JC, et al. As a convenience, a message is printed to the R console when non-alphanumeric characters are found. ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes must be in upper case and with alphanumeric characters only in order to be properly recognised set des = TRUE to properly tidy the codes automatically. See vignette("comorbidityscores", package = "comorbidity") for further details on the comorbidity scores and the weighting algorithm. Finally, the categorisation of scores and weighted scores is based on work by Menendez et al. in 1987, while weights for the Elixhauser score are based on work by Moore et al. Weights for the Charlson score are based on the original formulation by Charlson et al. The ICD-10 and ICD-9-CM coding for the Charlson and Elixhauser scores is based on work by Quan et al. via the utils::View() function) for convenience.

Labels are presented to the user when using the RStudio viewer (e.g. Windex_vw, for the weighted version of the grouped Elixhauser index using the algorithm in van Walraven et al. Windex_ahrq, for the weighted version of the grouped Elixhauser index using the AHRQ algorithm (Moore et al., 2017) Wscore_vw, for the weighted version of the Elixhauser score using the algorithm in van Walraven et al.
