CohortConstructor (version 0.3.5)

padCohortStart: Add days to cohort start

Description

padCohortStart() Adds (or subtracts) a certain number of days to the cohort start date. Note:

• If the days added means that cohort start would be after cohort end then the cohort entry will be dropped.

• If subtracting day means that cohort start would be before observation period start then the cohort entry will be dropped.

Usage

padCohortStart(
  cohort,
  days,
  collapse = TRUE,
  padObservation = TRUE,
  cohortId = NULL,
  name = tableName(cohort)
)

Value

Cohort table

Arguments

cohort

A cohort table in a cdm reference.

collapse

Whether to collapse the overlapping records (TRUE) or drop the records that have an ongoing prior record.

padObservation

Whether to pad observations if they are outside observation_period (TRUE) or drop the records if they are outside observation_period (FALSE)
