estimatePeriodPrevalence {IncidencePrevalence}

Estimate period prevalence

Description

Estimate period prevalence

Usage

estimatePeriodPrevalence(
  cdm,
  denominatorTable,
  outcomeTable,
  denominatorCohortId = NULL,
  outcomeCohortId = NULL,
  interval = "years",
  completeDatabaseIntervals = TRUE,
  fullContribution = FALSE,
  strata = list(),
  includeOverallStrata = TRUE,
  minCellCount = 5,
  returnParticipants = FALSE
)

Arguments

cdm

A CDM reference object

denominatorTable

A cohort table with a set of denominator cohorts (for example, created using the generateDenominatorCohortSet() function).

outcomeTable

A cohort table in the cdm reference containing a set of outcome cohorts.

denominatorCohortId

The cohort definition ids of the denominator cohorts of interest. If NULL all cohorts will be considered in the analysis.

outcomeCohortId

The cohort definition ids of the outcome cohorts of interest. If NULL all cohorts will be considered in the analysis.

interval

Time intervals over which period prevalence is estimated. This can be "weeks", "months", "quarters", "years", or "overall". ISO weeks will be used for weeks. Calendar months, quarters, or years can be used as the period. If more than one option is chosen then results will be estimated for each chosen interval.

completeDatabaseIntervals

TRUE/ FALSE. Where TRUE, prevalence will only be estimated for those intervals where the database captures all the interval (based on the earliest and latest observation period start dates, respectively).

fullContribution

TRUE/ FALSE. Where TRUE, individuals will only be included if they in the database for the entire interval of interest. If FALSE they are only required to present for one day of the interval in order to contribute.

strata

Variables added to the denominator cohort table for which to stratify estimates.

includeOverallStrata

Whether to include an overall result as well as strata specific results (when strata has been specified).

minCellCount

Minimum number of events to report- results lower than this will be obscured. If NULL all results will be reported.

returnParticipants

Either TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE references to participants from the analysis will be returned allowing for further analysis. Note, if using permanent tables and returnParticipants is TRUE, one table per analysis will be kept in the cdm write schema.

Value

Period prevalence estimates

Examples

cdm <- mockIncidencePrevalenceRef(sampleSize = 1000)
cdm <- generateDenominatorCohortSet(
  cdm = cdm, name = "denominator",
  cohortDateRange = c(as.Date("2008-01-01"), as.Date("2018-01-01"))
)
estimatePeriodPrevalence(
  cdm = cdm,
  denominatorTable = "denominator",
  outcomeTable = "outcome",
  interval = "months"
)
