Overview

About

Maintained by Vikrant Dev RathoreFirst published 2025-12-103 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A comprehensive R package for accessing and working with publicly available and free resources from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). The package provides streamlined access to HCUP's Clinical Classifications Software Refined (CCSR) mapping files and Summary Trend Tables, enabling researchers and analysts to efficiently map ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes to CCSR categories and access HCUP statistical reports. Key features include: direct download from HCUP website, multiple output formats (long/wide/default), cross-classification support, version management, citation generation, and intelligent caching. The package does not redistribute HCUP data files but facilitates direct download from the official HCUP website, ensuring users always have access to the latest versions and maintain compliance with HCUP data use policies. This package only accesses free public tools and reports; it does NOT access HCUP databases (NIS, KID, SID, NEDS, etc.) that require purchase. For more information, see https://hcup-us.ahrq.gov/.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-HCUPtools

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
