CodeSystem: Elixhauser Comorbidity Categories

Usage

Since formal terminologies do not provide codes for individual Elixhauser categories, mCODE provides them. The Elixhauser comorbidity categories represented here and corresponding codes are defined by Elixhauser Comorbidity Software Refined for ICD-10-CM v2021.1. A total of 38 categories are defined.

The comorbidity categories are associated with specific value sets. For example, the category #CHF (congestive heart failure) refers to the patient having a diagnosis that falls within the value set Elixhauser Comorbid Condition Value Set for Congestive Heart Failure.
