Create a parameter object for the function getDbCaseData

createGetDbCaseDataArgs(
  useNestingCohort = FALSE,
  useObservationEndAsNestingEndDate = TRUE,
  getVisits = FALSE,
  studyStartDate = "",
  studyEndDate = "",
  maxNestingCohortSize = 1e+07,
  maxCasesPerOutcome = 5e+05
)

Arguments

useNestingCohort: Should the study be nested in a cohort (e.g. people with a specific indication)? If not, the study will be nested in the general population.
useObservationEndAsNestingEndDate: When using a nesting cohort, should the observation period end date be used instead of the cohort end date?
getVisits: Get data on visits? This is needed when matching on visit date is requested later on.
studyStartDate: A calendar date specifying the minimum date where data is used. Date format is 'yyyymmdd'.
studyEndDate: A calendar date specifying the maximum date where data is used. Date format is 'yyyymmdd'.
maxNestingCohortSize: If the nesting cohort is larger than this number it will be sampled to this size. maxCohortSize = 0 indicates no maximum size.
maxCasesPerOutcome: If there are more than this number of cases for a single outcome cases will be sampled to this size. maxCasesPerOutcome = 0 indicates no maximum size.
