Create a parameter object for the function getDbSccsData

Usage

createGetDbSccsDataArgs(
  nestingCohortId = NULL,
  deleteCovariatesSmallCount = 0,
  studyStartDates = c(),
  studyEndDates = c(),
  maxCasesPerOutcome = 0,
  exposureIds = "exposureId",
  customCovariateIds = NULL
)

Arguments

nestingCohortId: A cohort definition ID identifying the records in the nestingCohortTable to use as nesting cohort.
deleteCovariatesSmallCount: The minimum count for a covariate to appear in the data to be kept.
studyStartDates: A character object specifying the minimum dates where data is used. Date format is 'yyyymmdd'. Use "" to indicate all time prior. See section for more information.
studyEndDates: A character object specifying the maximum dates where data is used. Date format is 'yyyymmdd'. Use "" to indicate to the end of observation. See section for more information.
maxCasesPerOutcome: If there are more than this number of cases for a single outcome cases will be sampled to this size. maxCasesPerOutcome = 0 indicates no maximum size.
exposureIds: A list of identifiers to extract from the exposure table. If exposureTable = DRUG_ERA, exposureIds should be CONCEPT_ID. If exposureTable = "drug_era", exposureIds is used to select the drug_concept_id. If no exposure IDs are provided, all drugs or cohorts in the exposureTable are included as exposures.
customCovariateIds: A list of cohort definition IDs identifying the records in the customCovariateTable to use for building custom covariates.

Value

An object of type GetDbSccsDataArgs.
