  • * The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were either included in the database diagnoses lists or derived by the PPRNet algorithms (see text). P set before a number indicates a procedure code. Codes used but not listed include G-codes used for quality reporting and procedure codes used for procedures unique to a diagnosis (eg, diabetic eye examination, gastric bypass for obesity).
