recalculate {REDCapDM}

Recalculate REDCap calculated fields

Description

Function that recalculates every calculated field if the logic can be transcribed to R. Recall that calculated fields with smart-variables in the logic or variables in other events cannot be transcribed.

The function will return the dataset and dictionary with the added recalculated variables (the name of the calculated field + '_recalc') along with a table that shows the summary of the results.

Usage

recalculate(data, dic, event_form = NULL, exclude_recalc = NULL)

Arguments

data

Data frame containing data from REDCap.

dic

Data frame containing the dictionary read from REDCap.

event_form

Data frame containing the correspondence of each event with each form.

exclude_recalc

Character vector with the names of the variables that do not have to be recalculated. Might be useful for projects were there are some calculated fields that have a time consuming recalculation.
