Random q:
I see ~140k dx/proc ICD codes: https://bit.ly/30j7txK
If all combos of 1-5 codes were possible, this would lead to ~4.5x10^23 possibilities (> # stars in universe!).
Does anyone know # unique combos seen in practice? Is every patient unique?

But lots of people come in with undifferentiated chest pain that isn't diagnosed during their admission, for example, and they tend to have similar comorbidities. So lots of R codes with E11.9 and not much else

Had a brief gander at the numbers and it looks like about 3/4 of patients have unique codes and the rest are duplicates
