vigicaen (development version)

vigicaen 0.15.6

CRAN release: 2025-03-13

New features

• vigi_routine() now plots details on drug liability and rechallenge when available (#119).

• desc_rch(), desc_dch() and desc_outcome() now handle out of memory arrow Table (#127).

• compute_dispro() now handles factors as x or y arguments, if levels are strictly equal to 0 and 1 (#134).

Minor

• Error and warnings all turned into cli syntax. Gathered redundant checkers internally (#133).

• vigi_routine() now works with out of memory arrow Tables. Additional checkers to vigi_routine() for input data type.

• compute_or_mod() now has an informative error message if either args estimate or std_er were not supplied (#123).

• Adding dependency to glue.

vigicaen 0.15.5

CRAN release: 2025-02-21

Minor

• Working on examples per CRAN query (#128).

• create_ex_* family mostly aimed at example set up or internal use (#128).

vigicaen 0.15.4

Minor

• Fixing typos in DESCRIPTION, per CRAN query.

vigicaen 0.15.3

Minor

• Addressing CRAN queries on package DESCRIPTION.

• Condensing examples and tb_vigibase() default output.

vigicaen 0.15.2

Minor

• Clearing remaining temp files from tests

vigicaen 0.15.1

New features

• tb_* family now has a cli style progress bar

• get_llt_soc() output is reworked with cli features. The function also now correctly supports non-data.table data.frame.

• vigi_routine() fails if there are no drug or adr cases found in demo_data.

vigicaen 0.15.0

Breaking changes

• mp replaces mp_short throughout the package (#110). Users will have to change existing code to replace calls to mp_short with mp.

  # the old way
  mp_short <- dt_parquet(path_who, "mp_short")
  d_names <- list(drug1 = "paracetamol")
  d_drecno <- get_drecno(d_names, mp_short = mp_short)
  
  # the new way
  mp <- dt_parquet(path_who, "mp")
  d_names <- list(drug1 = "paracetamol")
  d_drecno <- get_drecno(d_names, mp = mp)

• In get_llt_smq(), smq_list and smq_content replace smq_list_content(#74). Users will have to change existing code to replace calls to smq_list_content with smq_list and smq_content. Example tables smq_list_ and smq_content_ are added to the package. This change was made to streamline the process of querying sub-SMQs.

  # the old way
  smq_list_content <- dt_parquet(path_meddra, "smq_list_content")
  
  smq_llt <- 
    get_llt_smq(
      list(ihd = "Ischaemic heart disease (SMQ)"),
      smq_list_content)
  
  # the new way
  smq_list <- dt_parquet(path_meddra, "smq_list")
  smq_content <- dt_parquet(path_meddra, "smq_content")
  
  smq_llt <- 
    get_llt_smq(
       list(ihd = "Ischaemic heart disease (SMQ)"),
       smq_list = smq_list,
       smq_content = smq_content)

• compute_dispro() is the new name of compute_or_abcd(), to reflect that other disproportionality measures are available.

New features

• Args inspect and show_all of get_drecno() are replaced by verbose (#102).

• get_drecno() and get_llt_smq() messages are cleaner and written with the cli package.

• New top_n argument added to screen_adr() (#86).

• screen_drug() let you screen most reported drugs in drug (#103).

• get_llt_smq() now queries sub-SMQs and return all relevant codes (#74).

• Order of output columns in compute_dispro() has changed, to allow easier access to formatted values. Also new arguments min_n_obs and export_raw_values (#101).

• tb_subset() handles ID code lists as input, instead of numeric vectors, to make workflow more consistent with other processes like add_*. (#112)

Minor and bug Fixes

• screen_adr() now counts effects at the case level (#86).

• arg data_type of add_* functions is now deprecated. Data_type is internally detected.

• add_drug() and add_adr() have informative error if id code list is incorrect (#88).

Documenting

• Several documenting issues were adressed (#64, #77, #82, #106, #108, #109, #111)

vigicaen 0.14.0

New features

#90 Introducing vigi_routine() to streamline the process for pharmacovigilance practitioners. This function is intended for non-expert users, to produce an Information Component and time to onset graph.

#94 The luda table no longer exists. It is replaced by an augmented version of link - built directly from tb_vigibase(), which is used downstream in place of luda.

Minor

#92 tb_main() and tb_sub() are fusionned into tb_vigibase().

#93 It is now possible to export raw data composing the value column of desc_facvar() and desc_cont(), with argument export_raw_values.

#83 vignette("descriptive") was translated in English.

Bug fixes

#89 and #87 the get_* family of functions now correctly handle out of memory tables (by pulling them into memory). The same is true for extract_tto().

#85 Useless default values to some arguments of extract_tto() were removed.
