copyCohorts() copies an existing cohort table to a new location.
Arguments
- cohort
A cohort table in a cdm reference.
- name
Name of the new cohort table created in the cdm object.
- n
Number of times to duplicate the selected cohorts.
- cohortId
Vector identifying which cohorts to include (cohort_definition_id or cohort_name). Cohorts not included will be removed from the cohort set.
- .softValidation
Whether to perform a soft validation of consistency. If set to FALSE four additional checks will be performed: 1) a check that cohort end date is not before cohort start date, 2) a check that there are no missing values in required columns, 3) a check that cohort duration is all within observation period, and 4) that there are no overlapping cohort entries
Examples
# \donttest{
library(CohortConstructor)
cdm <- mockCohortConstructor()
cdm$cohort3 <- copyCohorts(cdm$cohort1, n = 2, cohortId = 1, name = "cohort3")
# }
