Definition:

As data support files, the ICD Conversion Files provide a crosswalk for matching ICD-10-CA diagnosis codes and Canadian Classification of Health Interventions (CCI) codes with corresponding ICD-9-CM codes. These files are useful for studies covering a time period prior to and after the date when the version of ICD coding changed in the Vital Statistics Mortality Registry data and the Hospital Abstracts data.

For more detailed information on the ICD Conversion Files, see:

• ICD Conversion File Data Description that contains a brief summary of the content of the data set and information on the Source Agency, Purpose, Years, Type, Size, Data Level, Components, Scope, Data Collection Method, Data Highlights, Data Cautions, Access Requirements, More Information, and Last Updated date.

For more information on using the ICD Conversion Files, see the ICD-10 to ICD-9-CM Conversion concept.
