Create a parameter object for the function getPlpData

Usage

createGetPlpDataArgs(
  studyStartDate = "",
  studyEndDate = "",
  firstExposureOnly = FALSE,
  washoutPeriod = 0,
  excludeDrugsFromCovariates = FALSE
)

Arguments

studyStartDate

A calendar date specifying the minimum date that a cohort index date can appear. Date format is 'yyyymmdd'.

studyEndDate

A calendar date specifying the maximum date that a cohort index date can appear. Date format is 'yyyymmdd'. Important: the studyEnd data is also used to truncate risk windows, meaning no outcomes beyond the study end date will be considered.

firstExposureOnly

Should only the first exposure per subject be included? Note that this is typically done in the createStudyPopulation function, but can already be done here for efficiency reasons.

washoutPeriod

The mininum required continuous observation time prior to index date for a person to be included in the at risk cohort. Note that this is typically done in the createStudyPopulation function,but can already be done here for efficiency reasons.

excludeDrugsFromCovariates

A redundant option
