check_ae_fatal: Check for death variable consistency when AEOUT=="FATAL"

Description

This check looks for consistency in AESDTH, AEDTHDTC, and AETOXGR (if applicable) when AEOUT is 'FATAL'. Note, this check expects AE grade/severity variables to be populated for either all records or none. In a case where both AETOXGR and AESEV exist and some records are supposed to have AETOXGR populated while others have AESEV (ie the two variables are mutually exclusive) then this check will likely return false positives.

Usage

check_ae_fatal(AE, preproc = identity, ...)

Value

boolean value if check failed or passed with 'msg' attribute if the test failed

Arguments

AE

Adverse Events SDTM dataset with variables USUBJID, AEDECOD, AESTDTC, AEDTHDTC, AEOUT, AESDTH

preproc

An optional company specific preprocessing script

...

Other arguments passed to methods
