ICD 10 and Global burden of disease

[Glenn Flandorfer]

Hi,

In a study we want to categorize ICD-10 into larger groups as defined by Global Burden of Disease project (GBD 2019 Resources | Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (healthdata.org , Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (github.com), Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) Cause List Mapped to ICD Codes | GHDx (healthdata.org)). The correspondence between ICD-10 and GBD is documented, but a unique GBD id for all unique icd-10 code is missing. In principle I could just go about coding directly (a lot of manually mapping...), but I wondered if anyone already developed code to do the job?

Thanks for any help you may provide.

Regards,
Glenn F

Perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't the mapping of GBD causes mapped to ICD-9 or ICD-10 as documented on this page (click Files tab, and the GBD mapping XLSX file). That mapping Excel file has a note at the bottom that says "NOTE: This is a comprehensive mapping of ICD codes to GBD categories for Nonfatal Estimation based on Hospital Inpatient data. Not all causes use Hospital data. Detailed case definitions disease by disease are provided in the disease and injury specific write-ups. A small number of causes don't use ICD codes." This looks to me like a unique map, in the sense that all GBD causes are listed, with a variety of different maps depending on ICD version and source of data (e.g., hospital/claims data). Using the -search- feature of Stata, I don't see anyone with user-contributed commands to perform this mapping, so you may need to do the manual coding.

Dear Leonardo - thanks. Manual coding is probably the solution... Have a nice day.
