icd_meta_blocks | R Documentation |
The ICD blocks (German: "Gruppen") constitute a level in the hierarchy between the chapters and the three-digit codes. The three-digit code are grouped in sequence to form 240 groups that represent similar aetiological diagnoses. Unlike some other grouper systems, the ICD blocks do not consider similar diagnoses from different chapters of the ICD classification, for example chronic pain coded as a unspecific symptom (R52.1) and as a somatoform disorder (F45.4).
