requireIsFirstEntry() filters cohort records, keeping only the first
cohort entry per person.
Usage
requireIsEntry(
cohort,
entryRange,
cohortId = NULL,
name = tableName(cohort),
.softValidation = TRUE
)Arguments
- cohort
A cohort table in a cdm reference.
- entryRange
Range for entries to include.
- 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.
- 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
Examples
# \donttest{
library(CohortConstructor)
cdm <- mockCohortConstructor()
cdm$cohort1 <- requireIsEntry(cdm$cohort1, c(1, Inf))
# }
