NTDB ECODE lookup table vs your lookup table

[theprintsurgeon]

Hi,

NTDB provides a description file with more extensive descriptions for ecodes, is there any way to use this table with your program? the format is as such:

ECODE | ECODEDES | INJTYPE | INTENT | MECHANISM

The ECODES numeric with decimals such as 800.1

Hi @theprintsurgeon, Thanks for your interest in the icdpicr package. Are you asking if we can includ the NTDB description file in the package for reference or actually add the ECODE | ECODEDES | INJTYPE | INTENT | MECHANISM fields to the output of cat_trauma()?

Hi! I was wondering if we could add those fields to the output of cat_trauma() Thank you for the great work!

I think we would run into license issues including that file in the package. However it should be easy enough to merge that data into the output of cat_trauma(). Please let me know if you run into other issues or have suggestions for improvements.
