[Stable] desc_tto() provides a drug-adr pair description of time to onset.

Usage

desc_tto(.data, adr_s, drug_s, tto_time_range = 1, ...)

Arguments

.data

A link data.table. See link_.

adr_s

A character string. The name of the adr column. (see details)

drug_s

A character string. The name of the drug column. (see details)

tto_time_range

Incertitude range of Time to onset, in days. Defaults to 1 as recommended by umc

...

Additional parameters to be passed to desc_cont(). E.g. format, digits...

Value

A data.table with one row per drug-adr pair

  • A descriptive of time to onsets for this combination (column tto_max).

Details

Description of time (maximum available time) between drug initiation and event onset. This runs at the drug-adr pair level. Internally, it uses extract_tto() and desc_cont(), You will need a link data.table, see link_, on which you have added drugs and adrs with add_drug() and add_adr(). you can supply extra arguments to desc_cont() with .... Uppsala Monitoring Centre recommends to use only cases where the incertitude on time to onset is less than 1 day. You can change this with tto_time_range.
