the Charlson Index. Once found, an indicator function is defined for each of the 17 Charlson categories,
with a code of zero if the category is absent for the patient; otherwise a code of one is assigned. Then
the Charlson Index is defined by a combination sum of weights times the indicator function value. If the
Charlson Index is zero, then the patient has none of the codes for the Charlson Index; the largest sum
defined in this dataset is a value of 13.
