Description
Hello there,
I am hoping to seek some clarification on the DRG Codes available in the latest MIMIC-IV.
In the documentation it was mentioned that: "(DRG) Descriptions have been updated using the latest dictionaries made available from mass.gov and HCUP".
Upon closer look, it appears all HCFA DRG are really MS-DRG. Is this correct?
If so, may I clarify what version of MS-DRG did we use? Of interest, there are about 25 codes not included in MS-DRG v37 and v34 respectively. It seems we have a mixer of older and newer MS-DRG codes.

Research direction
Start with the MIMIC-IV documentation that describes DRG code descriptions and the referenced mass.gov and HCUP dictionaries. Compare the available codes with MS-DRG v37 and v34, then document which version or versions were used and explain the codes that do not match.
