Simulate ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes — sample

This function simulates ICD-10 diagnosis codes at random or by user specified pattern.

Usage

sample_icd(n = 1, source = "comorbidity", dbcon = NULL, pattern = NULL)

Arguments

n: (integer)
Number of ICD codes to simulate.
source: (string)
The source of the ICD coding to sample from. Default to "comorbidity" the 2011 version of ICD-10 codes implemented in the R comorbidity package. If source is icd_lookup, ICD-10-CA codes will be sampled from the lookup_icd10_ca_description table in the GEMINI database, see details in GEMINI Data Repository Dictionary.
dbcon: (DBIConnection)
A database connection to any GEMINI database. Required when source is icd_lookup.
pattern: (string)
A valid regex expression that specifies the desired pattern that the returned ICD codes should be matched with.

Value

(vector)
A vector of ICD diagnostic codes.

Examples

### Simulate 100 ICD-10 codes based on the 2011 version.
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
sample_icd(100, source = "comorbidity")
} # }

### Simulate 100 ICD-10 codes starting with "C2" or "E10" based on the 2011 version.
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
sample_icd(100, source = "comorbidity", pattern = "^C2|^E10")
} # }

### Simulate 50 ICD-10-CA codes based on codes found in the `lookup_icd10_ca_description` table
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
drv <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL")
dbcon <- DBI::dbConnect(drv,
  dbname = "db",
  host = "domain_name.ca",
  port = 1234,
  user = getPass("Enter user:"),
  password = getPass("password")
)
sample_icd(50, source = "icd_lookup", dbcon = dbcon)
} # }
