Subset cohorts using specified limit criteria

Usage

createLimitSubset(
  name = NULL,
  priorTime = 0,
  followUpTime = 0,
  limitTo = "all",
  calendarStartDate = NULL,
  calendarEndDate = NULL
)

Arguments

name

Name of operation

priorTime

Required prior observation window (specified as a positive integer)

followUpTime

Required post observation window (specified as a positive integer)

limitTo

character one of: "firstEver" - only first entry in patient history "earliestRemaining" - only first entry after washout set by priorTime "latestRemaining" - the latest remaining after washout set by followUpTime "lastEver" - only last entry in patient history inside

Note, when using firstEver and lastEver with follow up and washout, patients with events outside this will be censored. The "firstEver" and "lastEver" are applied first. The "earliestRemaining" and "latestRemaining" are applied after all other limit criteria are applied (i.e. after applying prior/post time and calendar time).

calendarStartDate

End date to allow periods (e.g. 2020/1/1/)

calendarEndDate

Start date to allow period (e.g. 2015/1/1)
