Lookup a 3-digit ICD-10-GM code in the official BfArM browser

Description

Given a 3-digit ICD-10-GM code, this function will generate the URL of the corresponding page of the BfArM ICD-10-GM browser, and use browseURL() to open it.

Usage

icd_browse(icd3, year = NULL, open_browser = TRUE)

Arguments

icd3	3-digit ICD-10-GM code (e.g. "A01")
year	ICD-10-GM version (default: most recent available version). Only works for year >= 2009.
open_browser	Whether to open the ICD-10-GM documentation in the default browser (Default: TRUE, as this is the primary intention of the function)

Details

This currently provides the correct URL for ICD-10-GM versions from 2009. Given that BfArM are still using the old dimdi.de domain for this purpose, it is possible that the URL schema will change in the near future.

This is a convenience function intended for interactive use.

Value

icd_browse("R50", open_browser = FALSE)
