requireCohortIntersect: Require cohort subjects are present (or absence) in another cohort

Description

requireCohortIntersect() filters a cohort table based on a requirement that an individual is seen (or not seen) in another cohort in some time window around an index date.

Usage

requireCohortIntersect(
  cohort,
  targetCohortTable,
  window,
  intersections = c(1, Inf),
  cohortId = NULL,
  targetCohortId = NULL,
  indexDate = "cohort_start_date",
  targetStartDate = "cohort_start_date",
  targetEndDate = "cohort_end_date",
  censorDate = NULL,
  name = tableName(cohort)
)

Value

Cohort table with only those isatisfying the criteria kept

Arguments

cohort

A cohort table in a cdm reference.

targetCohortTable

Name of the cohort that we want to check for intersect.

window

Window to consider events over.

intersections

A range indicating number of intersections for criteria to be fulfilled. If a single number is passed, the number of intersections must match this.

cohortId

IDs of the cohorts to modify. If NULL, all cohorts will be used; otherwise, only the specified cohorts will be modified, and the rest will remain unchanged.

targetCohortId

Vector of cohort definition ids to include.

indexDate

Variable in x that contains the date to compute the intersection.

targetStartDate

Date of reference in cohort table, either for start (in overlap) or on its own (for incidence).

targetEndDate

Date of reference in cohort table, either for end (overlap) or NULL (if incidence).

censorDate

Whether to censor overlap events at a specific date or a column date of x.

name

Name of the new cohort with the future observation restriction.

# \donttest{
library(CohortConstructor)
cdm <- mockCohortConstructor()
cdm$cohort1 |>
  requireCohortIntersect(targetCohortTable = "cohort2",
                             targetCohortId = 1,
                             indexDate = "cohort_start_date",
                             window = c(-Inf, 0))
