PySUS

This package collects a set of utilities for handling with public databases published by Brazil's DATASUS The documentation of how to use PySUS can be found here

Features

• Decode encoded patient age to any time unit (years, months, etc)
• Convert .dbc files to DBF databases or read them into pandas dataframes. DBC files are basically DBFs compressed by a proprietary algorithm.
• Read SINAN dbf files returning DataFrames with properly typed columns

Instalation

$ sudo pip install PySUS
