CohortGenerator (version 1.0.2)

createUnionCohortTemplate: Create cohort template to union multiple cohorts

Description

This is a union between all cohorts within a specified set of ids. If an individual has multiple overlapping eras, they will be merged into a single time window.

Distinct eras will be mapped to the same cohort id but remain distinct. For example:

``` A: [--------] B: [--] C: [-------] ``` Becomes: ``` A U B U C: [--------------] ```

And ``` A: [--------] B: [-------] ``` Becomes ``` A U B: [--------] [-------] ``` It is never allowed to have multiple overlapping eras for the same individual within a cohort

Usage

createUnionCohortTemplate(cohortIds, cohortName, unionCohortId)

Arguments

cohortIds

A vector of `cohort_definition_id` values for the input cohorts.

cohortName

The Name of the resulting cohort

unionCohortId

The `cohort_definition_id` for the resulting union cohort.
