The International Classification of Disease (ICD) is a widely used diagnostic ontology for the classification of health disorders and a valuable resource for healthcare analytics. However, ICD is an evolving ontology and subject to periodic revisions (e.g. ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM) resulting in the absence of complete cross-walks between versions. While clinical experts can create custom mappings across ICD versions, this process is both time-consuming and costly. We propose an automated solution that facilitates interoperability without sacrificing accuracy. Our solution leverages the SNOMED-CT ontology whereby medical concepts are organised in a directed acyclic graph. We use this to map ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM by associating codes to clinical concepts in the SNOMED graph using a nearest neighbors search in combination with natural language processing. To assess the impact of our method, the performance of a gradient boosted tree (XGBoost) developed to classify patients with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) disorder, was compared when using features constructed by our solution versus clinically-driven methods. This dataset comprised of 23, 204 EPI patients and 277, 324 non-EPI patients with data spanning from October 2011 to April 2017.
