requireAge() filters cohort records, keeping only records where individuals
satisfy the specified age criteria.
Usage
requireAge(
cohort,
ageRange,
cohortId = NULL,
indexDate = "cohort_start_date",
atFirst = FALSE,
name = tableName(cohort),
.softValidation = TRUE
)Arguments
- cohort
A cohort table in a cdm reference.
- ageRange
A list of vectors specifying minimum and maximum age.
- cohortId
Vector identifying which cohorts to modify (cohort_definition_id or cohort_name). If NULL, all cohorts will be used; otherwise, only the specified cohorts will be modified, and the rest will remain unchanged.
- indexDate
Variable in cohort that contains the date to compute the demographics characteristics on which to restrict on.
- atFirst
If FALSE the requirement will be applied to all records, if TRUE, it will only be required for the first entry of each subject.
- name
Name of the new cohort table created in the cdm object.
- .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
