How does the software deal with invalid International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes?
The software assumes that all input variables contain only valid/non-missing values. Running the software on data that contains missing or invalid data (e.g., ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes, patient disposition codes) may produce questionable and invalid results. All input variables should be validated prior to running the software.
