shift_table {flextable}R Documentation

Create a shift table

Description

Create a shift table ready to be used with tabulator().

The function is transforming a dataset representing some 'Laboratory Tests Results' structured as CDISC clinical trial data sets format to a dataset representing the shift table.

Shift tables are tables used in clinical trial analysis. They show the progression of change from the baseline, with the progression often being along time; the number of subjects is displayed in different range (e.g. low, normal, or high) at baseline and at selected time points or intervals.

Usage

shift_table(
  x,
  cn_visit = "VISIT",
  cn_visit_num = "VISITNUM",
  cn_grade = "LBNRIND",
  cn_usubjid = "USUBJID",
  cn_lab_cat = NA_character_,
  cn_is_baseline = "LBBLFL",
  baseline_identifier = "Y",
  cn_treatment = NA_character_,
  grade_levels = c("LOW", "NORMAL", "HIGH"),
  grade_labels = c("Low", "Normal", "High")
)

Arguments

x

Laboratory Tests Results data frame.

cn_visit

column name containing visit names, default to "VISIT".

cn_visit_num

column name containing visit numbers, default to "VISITNUM".

cn_grade

column name containing reference range indicators, default to "LBNRIND".

cn_usubjid

column name containing unique subject inditifiers, default to "USUBJID".

cn_lab_cat

column name containing lab tests or examination names, default to "LBTEST".

cn_is_baseline

column name containing baseline flags, default to "LBBLFL".

baseline_identifier

baseline flag value to use for baseline identification. Its default is "Y".

cn_treatment

column name containing treatment names, default to NA.

grade_levels

levels to use for reference range indicators

grade_labels

labels to use for reference range indicators

Value

the shift table as a data.frame. Additionnal elements are provided in attributes:
