 The file specified in `all_codes_file_path` should contain all the unique codes of the desired release. However, it is sufficient that it contains all the seven-characters codes that must be generated programmatically, that is all the valid codes that are not explicitly listed in the XML file (see [About the special seventh character](#about-the-special-seventh-character) for more information). Each line in this file must contain a single code. Codes can be written in the format with or without the dot. In each line, the code may be followed by any text, as long as there is at least one space character immediately after the code. The `icd10cm-codes` text files available from the [CDC's website](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd-10-cm/files.html) can be used for this purpose, without modification.  
 The file specified in `classification_data_file_path` is the XML containing the whole classification. This typically corresponds to the `icd10cm-tabular` XML files available from the [CDC's website](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd-10-cm/files.html). If using XML files from another origin, note that, in the official releases, the first two children of the root XML element are not part of the structure of the classification, and are therefore skipped by the library.

 ## The format of the codes
 Subcategories codes can be written in two different ways: with a dot (for example "I13.1") and with no dot (for example "I131"). The functions in this library can receive as input codes in both these formats. The codes returned by the functions will always be in the format with the dot.  
 You can easily change the format of a code by using the [`remove_dot`](#remove_dotcode) and [`add_dot`](#add_dotcode) functions.

There you can find an explanation about the meaning of most of the additional fields that can accompany a code.

 Unlike ICD-10, ICD-10-CM includes blocks of categories that contain only one category (and its subcategories). These blocks are named after the category that they contain, which means that ICD-10-CM contains blocks and categories that have the same exact code. This is a problem: because of this questionable decision, we can't know for sure if the code "B99", for example, refers to the category "B99" or to the block with the same name. This can be seen in the following example, where "B99" is recognized as both a block and a category:

 ## About the special seventh character
-The file `icd10cm-tabular-April-2025.xml`, which is the XML file that contains the whole ICD-10-CM classification, doesn't have an entry for all the codes generated by adding the "special" seventh character, but it often contains instead rules that explain how to generate these codes in the "sevenChrDef" field (and sometimes in the "sevenChrNote" field too, just to complicate things a little bit...). You can find more about the structure of these particular codes in [Instructional Notations.md](https://github.com/StefanoTrv/simple_icd_10_CM/blob/master/Instructional%20Notations.md).

 Due to the lack of a complete entry for these missing codes, I had to decide how they would be handled in this library. So I decided that their only field would be the description, composed of the description of their parent followed by the description of the meaning of the additional character, with a comma between the two: this description appears in official documents about ICD-10-CM, so it's not my invention but the actual official format. All the other fields are empty, but the optional argument `search_in_ancestors` of certain functions can be used to automatically retrieve the content of certain fields from the ancestors of the code (see the description of the specific functions in the [Documentation](#documentation) for more details).  
-Seven-characters codes that have an entry in `icd10cm-tabular-April-2025.xml` are treated like any other code, and their data is taken directly from the file.

It is recommended that you always omit this parameter.
 
 ## Conclusion
 This should be everything you need to know about the simple_icd_10_cm library. Please contact me if you find any mistake, bug, missing feature or anything else that could be improved or made easier to comprehend, both in this documentation and in the library itself as well as in the [Showcase notebook](https://github.com/StefanoTrv/simple_icd_10_CM/blob/master/Showcase%20notebook.ipynb). You can also contact me if you need any help using this library, but I may not be able to help with questions about the ICD-10-CM classification itself.

+### get_code_also(code, search_in_ancestors=False, prioritize_blocks=False)
+This function takes a string as input. If the string is a valid ICD-10-CM code, it returns a **string** containing the data of the "codeAlso" field of this code, otherwise it raises a ValueError. If this code does not have a "codeAlso" field, it returns an empty string. Please see [Instructional Notations](https://github.com/StefanoTrv/simple_icd_10_CM/blob/master/Instructional%20Notations.md) if you have doubts about the meaning of this field. When the optional argument `search_in_ancestors` is set to True, if the given code doesn't have a "codeAlso" field but one of its ancestor does, the "codeAlso" data of the closer ancestor that contains such a field is returned. For the meaning of the optional argument `prioritize_blocks`, please see [Blocks containing only one category](#blocks-containing-only-one-category).

+### get_notes(code, search_in_ancestors=False, prioritize_blocks=False)
+This function takes a string as input. If the string is a valid ICD-10-CM code, it returns a **string** containing the data of the "notes" field of this code, otherwise it raises a ValueError. If this code does not have a "notes" field, it returns an empty string. When the optional argument `search_in_ancestors` is set to True, if the given code doesn't have a "notes" field but one of its ancestor does, the "notes" data of the closer ancestor that contains such a field is returned.

 ### get_full_data(code, search_in_ancestors=False, prioritize_blocks=False)
 This function takes a string as input. If the string is a valid ICD-10-CM code, it returns a string containing all the available data of the code, otherwise it raises a ValueError. The empty fields are omitted from the string, except for the list of children (see second example below). When the optional argument `search_in_ancestors` is set to True, if the given code doesn't have a certain field but one of its ancestor does, the data of the closer ancestor that contains such a field is returned: see the previous functions to know which are the fields that are influenced by this argument and which are not. For the meaning of the optional argument `prioritize_blocks`, please see [Blocks containing only one category](#blocks-containing-only-one-category).

-### change_version(all_codes_file_path=None, classification_data_file_path=None)
-This function can be used to load any ICD-10-CM release provided by the user, or to revert to using the default release for the package. Its usage is explained in the paragraph [Using other ICD-10-CM releases](#using-other-icd-10-cm-releases).
+### change_version(all_codes_file_path=None, classification_data_file_path=None, suppress_warnings=None)
+This function can be used to load any ICD-10-CM release provided by the user, or to revert to using the default release for the package. Its usage is explained in the paragraph [Using other ICD-10-CM releases](#using-other-icd-10-cm-releases). The optional argument `suppress_warnings` can be used to hide the warnings that are emitted when some kinds of small inconsistencies are detected in the loaded data. Setting this parameter to `True` will hide the warnings, setting it to `False` will show them, setting it to `None` or omitting it will not change whether warnings are hidden or shown. It is recommended that you always omit this parameter.
 
 ## Conclusion
 This should be everything you need to know about the simple_icd_10_cm library. Please contact me if you find any mistake, bug, missing feature or anything else that could be improved or made easier to comprehend, both in this documentation and in the library itself as well as in the [Showcase notebook](https://github.com/StefanoTrv/simple_icd_10_CM/blob/master/Showcase%20notebook.ipynb). You can also contact me if you need any help using this library, but I may not be able to help with questions about the ICD-10-CM classification itself.
