Create exposure-outcome combinations.

Create exposure-outcome combinations.

createExposureOutcome(exposureId, outcomeId, trueEffectSize = NA)

Arguments

exposureId

A concept ID indentifying the drug of interest in the exposure table. If multiple strategies for picking the exposure will be tested in the analysis, a named list of numbers can be provided instead. In the analysis, the name of the number to be used can be specified using the exposureType parameter in the createSccAnalysis function.

outcomeId

A concept ID indentifying the outcome of interest in the outcome table. If multiple strategies for picking the outcome will be tested in the analysis, a named list of numbers can be provided instead. In the analysis, the name of the number to be used can be specified using the #' outcomeType parameter in the createSccAnalysis function.

trueEffectSize

Should this be set to 1 this will be considererd a negative control

Value

An object of class exposureOutcome specifying an exposure-outcome pair for analysis.

Details

Create a hypothesis of interest, to be used with the runSccAnalyses function.

Examples

# Create a simple exposure-outcome pair
eo1 <- createExposureOutcome(exposureId = 1124300,
                             outcomeId = 444382)

# Create a negative control (true effect size = 1)
eo2 <- createExposureOutcome(exposureId = 1124300,
                             outcomeId = 444382,
                             trueEffectSize = 1)
