Bipolar Disorder Population diagnostic Categories/Hierarchy

Bipolar Disorder I diagnoses:
296.0 Manic disorder, single episode
296.1 Manic disorder, recurrent episode
296.4 Bipolar affective disorder, manic
296.5 Bipolar affective disorder, depressed
296.6 Bipolar affective disorder, mixed
296.7 Bipolar affective disorder, unspecified
Bipolar Disorder II diagnoses:
296.89 Bipolar II disorder
301.11 Chronic hypomanic personality disorder
Bipolar Disorder other diagnoses:
296.80 Manic-depressive psychosis, unspecified
296.81 Atypical manic disorder
296.82 Atypical depressive disorder
301.13 Cychothymic disorder

Notes on how to apply the hierarchy: if number of bipolar disorder I diagnoses is greater than or equal to 1, then study diagnosis is defined as BPAD I; if no bipolar disorder I diagnoses, and the number of bipolar disorder II diagnoses is greater than or equal to one, then study diagnosis is BPAD II; if no bipolar I or II diagnoses, then study diagnosis is BPAD_other.
