generateAtcCohortSet: Generate a set of drug cohorts based on ATC classification

Description

Adds a new cohort table to the cdm reference with individuals who have drug exposure records that belong to the specified Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification. Cohort start and end dates will be based on drug record start and end dates, respectively. Records that overlap or have fewer days between them than the specified gap era will be concatenated into a single cohort entry.

Usage

generateAtcCohortSet(
  cdm,
  name,
  atcName = NULL,
  gapEra = 1,
  subsetCohort = NULL,
  subsetCohortId = NULL,
  numberExposures = FALSE,
  daysPrescribed = FALSE,
  ...
)

Value

The function returns the cdm reference provided with the addition of the new cohort table.

Arguments

cdm: A cdm_reference object.
name: Name of the new cohort table, it must be a length 1 character vector.
atcName: Names of ATC classification of interest.
gapEra: Number of days between two continuous exposures to be considered in the same era. Records that have fewer days between them than this gap will be concatenated into the same cohort record.
subsetCohort: Cohort table to subset.
subsetCohortId: Cohort id to subset.
numberExposures: Whether to include 'number_exposures' (number of drug exposure records between indexDate and censorDate).
daysPrescribed: Whether to include 'days_prescribed' (number of days prescribed used to create each era).
...: Arguments to be passed to CodelistGenerator::getATCCodes().

Examples

Run this code

# \donttest{
cdm <- mockDrugUtilisation()

cdm <- generateAtcCohortSet(
  cdm = cdm,
  atcName = "alimentary tract and metabolism",
  name = "drugs"
)

cdm$drugs |>
  dplyr::glimpse()
# }
