  <dc:title>Calculation of Comorbidity and Frailty Scores</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package LABTNSCPSS version 1.0.5</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Computes comorbidity indices and combined frailty scores for
    multiple ICD coding systems, including ICD-10-CA, ICD-10-CM, and ICD-11.
    The package provides tools to preprocess episode data, map diagnosis codes
    to chronic categories, propagate conditions across episodes, and generate
    comorbidity and frailty measures. The methodology is described in
    Nikiema, Bayani, and Bally (2026), "A Semantic-Based Carry-Forward
    Approach: Uncovering Chronic Disease Burden in Real-World Data Analysis",
    International Journal of Medical Informatics, article 106709
