mwi: Multimorbidity Weighted Index (MWI)

In multimorbidity: Harmonizing Various Comorbidity, Multimorbidity, and Frailty Measures

Multimorbidity Weighted Index (MWI)

Description

cfi returns a summary dataset containing the multimorbidity weighted index for each patient.

Usage

mwi(dat = NULL, id = NULL, dx = "dx", version = 19, version_var = NULL)

Arguments

dat	dataset which has been properly prepared using 'prepare_data()'
id	variable of the unique patient identifier
dx	the column with the diagnoses and procedures (defaults to 'dx')
version	which version(s) of ICD your data contain (ICD-9 only: 9, ICD-10 only: 10, Both: 19)
version_var	variable which denotes if the diagnoses on that row are ICD-9 (9) or ICD-10 (10)

Details

This function uses data which has been properly prepared to calculate the multimorbidity weighted index developed by Wei et al. As this algorithm was never developed to require two diagnosis codes, and is weighted, we have excluded that feature from this function. See full package documentation for additional details.

Examples

mwi(dat = prepared_data, id = patient_id, dx = dx, version = 9, version_var = version)
